I can't really remember the last week, since I started on Paxil.
I couldn't take the racing thoughts anymore.
Turns out, Paxil is used to treat IBS also.
Well! There's one thing resolved.
I can actually drink coffee and enjoy it!
For the first time in four years.
But, coffee refuses to wake me up.
I can't obsess on anything, and my mind can't race, because I'm too tired!
I'm hoping my body will adjust, and I'll even out.
I was on Paxil before, years ago.
I don't remember these side effects.
My TV show last week was about addictions.
My addiction is 'Order.'
So I thought, maybe if I can relax on the order for a while, I'll be more normal.
And less stressed out.
But what's normal?
I'm not sure I want to be.
After all, I like having things in a row.
And I like 'clean.'
But if I sleep all the time,
I can't worry about that so much.
This poem is all over the place.
Right now, I'm in the middle of a chaotic office.
People all around, talking, talking.
I prefer the quiet.
I prefer the sleep!
Happy Monday, Folks.
Here's to a good week!

Wondered where you were! Hope you adjust to the meds soon. I think - for me - that sometimes sleep is far preferable to obsessing. Oh to have a NATURALLY quiet mind!!!
;-)

Hey Terre!
Yeah, I have been in a bit of a haze; hoping it evens out. I can't write as well when in a haze. ;)
People with naturally quiet minds are lucky!
Marty ~ Believe me, I know adjusting to medication is hard. Stick with it and all will even itself out. Thinking of you...
