A) The Drug Entry has become huge and fascinating!

B) The November 18th episode--number 109--of Dan Savage's podcast is amazing. Beyond the usual fun sort of stuff he talks usually talks about, there's some stunningly uplifting post-Prop 8 thoughts in there.

C) This should be somebody's autobiography title, via [livejournal.com profile] interdisciple  => "I Didn't Get High but the Chili Tasted Awesome."

D) 



E) Have a good weekend, my sexy little monkeys.

Pharmaceutical adjustments, no matter what the pills are for, really wreak emotional havok with me.

Strange highs. Stranger lows. Insomnia. Bizarre thoughts.

And to think I thought it might help end my recent writer's block.

Balls.

Apologies to  those of you--SM and JG and MA, for example--who got really odd or frantic or frequent messages from me over the weekend.

Time for more adjusting...

Met with my neurologist yesterday, gonna stop taking Requip.
It takes care of some of the little symptoms of my Tourette's that Klonopin doesn't, but it's not worth this side-effect...

"You should be careful until you know if Requip affects your ability to remain alert while doing normal daily activities, and you should watch for the development of significant daytime sleepiness or episodes of falling asleep. It is possible that you could fall asleep while doing normal activities such as driving a car, doing physical tasks, or using hazardous machinery while taking Requip. Your chances of falling asleep while doing normal activities while taking Requip are greater if you are taking other medicines that cause drowsiness."

Fuckers. No more nodding off at work IN THE MIDDLE OF TYPING ON THE COMPUTER. No more STOPPING THE CAR AND WALKING AROUND EVERY THIRTY MINUTES TO MAKE SURE I DON'T FALL ASLEEP AND DIE.
Oh, and they also fail to mention another side-effect that my doctor told me.

HIM: (After weighing me) So, have you seen a significant weight gain since you started taking Requip?
ME: Uh...yeah, I guess I have.

Turns out that it can not only cause weight gain but simultaneously affect your body's ability to LOSE any weight.

...

I suddenly feel slightly better about myself.
The latest in my Fuckbrain Comix, an ongoing series about what it's like to have Tourette Syndrome, OCD, Bipolar Disorder, ADHD...AND MORE!

My brain does not work properly. It's a good thing I found these in Chinatown.



Tell me these are not the coolest damn pills ever. I mean, sure, the ingredients are in Latin, which means there are about six ingredients that, instead of saying "seed" say "semen," but hey...

More pictures of Chinatown and Chinese food and more. )

Current Music: LOST on the television
Went to brain doctor. Will pick up new pills after work.

Need to plot some stuff, then edit the fuck out of the third Rahxephon novel for DrMaster. Novels pay three times as much as a plain manga, but take AT LEAST three times as long.

Fudge.
