Eight

Pill today.

Was in a seminar on how to be a "more effective team lead". I'm liking it so far and was not struggling to stay focused, so that's good. We'll see how tomorrow goes.

Due to the almost guaranteed dizziness tomorrow (no pill) I'm getting a ride downtown. I have to go curling from 9-11pm tomorrow night too, which doesn't get me home until well after midnight, so it'll be a long day.

My wife asked me why one can't just stop Paxil. It's a good question. All I've read about it seems to indicate that even if you taper the dose really really slowly the withdrawl symptoms will still kick your ass, so why not just stop? I mean, if it's shit one way and just as shit the other, then why not? Well all I've read and been told by Physicians indicates that the symptoms are infinitely worse if you just stop cold turkey. The brain is a hard thing to figure out. I'm going to solicit advice from a friend who also happens to be a neuro-psychologist.

Either way, I'm skeptical as to who know what, why, and for what reason.

What I now know is that this drug is completely and totally 100% pure evil extract, in a nice pink oblong pill. I will forever curse the doctor who put me on this damn thing.
