Building up the courage….
So I’m aimlessly staring at this bottle of lovely pills debating whether I should risk it or not. I’m hearing good and bad things about this medication. I suppose I hesitate the most because I’ve read the possible side effects of it. I am not an avid user of prescription medication as I ALWAYS feel the full effects of them. Hence, I fear that I will suffer rather than prosper.
I mean really….read this…
“Nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, loss of appetite, increased sweating, drowsiness, diarrhea, upset stomach, or trouble sleeping may occur….
Tell your doctor immediately if any of these unlikely but serious side effects occur: unusual or severe mental/mood changes (e.g., agitation, nervousness, suicidal thoughts), decrease in sexual ability (ejaculation delay), decreased interest in sex, uncontrollable shaking (tremor), unusual weight loss.
Tell your doctor immediately if any of these highly unlikely but very serious side effects occur: easy bruising/bleeding, persistent nausea/vomiting, severe stomach/abdominal pain, black stools, seizures, change in the amount of urine, dark urine, vomit that looks like coffee grounds, yellowing eyes/skin.”
Really? I’m considering taking an ANTI-depressant that could possibly cause suicidal thoughts? Or possibly create side effects that got me to this point in the first place like: insomnia and severe mood changes? I mean really???
“It’s wonderful to see you again you special little pill. Before we get to know each other a little better, I need to learn how to put aside my fear of commitment. I may need to do a thorough background check on your credentials before I can make a sound decision on whether this union will be a good one or not.”
