I only got
6 hours of sleep last night, but that’s okay because I got 9 ½ the night before
(that’s how sleep works, right?). I
decided to quit taking 2 doctor prescribed medications and 1 self-prescribed
medication last night. First, the self-prescribed, melatonin is something that
helps you sleep. I’ve been taking it for
like 9 months, just because I thought I needed it, maybe I don’t, we’ll
see. Now for the 2 doctor prescribed
medications.
The first
is the muscle relaxer, I’ve been taking it for about 5 months because of these
headaches I have that the doctor can’t think of any other way to get rid
of. The medication works really well at
getting rid of my headaches but it makes me super tired and way less productive
(and that’s hard to imagine). For the
last 5 months I’ve felt better but I’ve been in a daze and now I’m just going
to try to live with the headaches for a while.
This is a choice I have to make to keep myself employed. I don’t know if my boss can take much more of
“hazy, unmotivated, and even lazier than before” Eric.
The second
is a bit more controversial; apparently, if Facebook’s response is any
indication I’m going to die. I’ve decided, without a doctor’s recommendation, to
quit taking Prozac (although it’s generic, so it’s just called fluoxetine). I’m quitting it because the only reason I was
ever on it was because the doctor thought it would help with my motivation to
lose weight. It didn’t help with that at
all and I don’t feel like spending $15 I don’t have every month for something
that isn’t working. Also, the
nutritionist I saw on the 7th was very upset about me doing that to
my brain. I know that, having been on it
for a little over a year, there are some possible negative side effects that I
may have to look forward to, but I have a pretty observant group of people
around me that will notice if I try to off myself (or anyone else for that
matter).
Well, I guess
this is part one of today’s diet journal, even though this has nothing to do
with my diet. Part two, the diet part,
will be posted tomorrow.
