I think I have finally settled on a combination of meds that are helpful without any serious side-effects* and that won’t cost an arm and a leg each month. I am grateful to the trio of doctors that it took to get me to this point and hope that I can spend a little more mental energy on other things.
* There is one side-effect that I could do without. Occasionally, I have a full night of very intense, very realistic dreams. The first half of last night’s slumber was interupted by nightmares that Tom had to repeatedly wake me from because of all of the noise I was making. The second half featured a very long and graphic evening spent smoking pot and having, um, relations with Penn and Teller. I like unconventional men, so that makes marginal sense, I guess.** The problem is that these crazy-pill dreams are so very real to me when I wake up that I spend the day remembering them as if they were actual events, like something that happened yesterday, instead of in that hazy dream recall.
** I actually very much like Penn & Teller. I’ve been to their Vegas show, love Bullshit on Showtime, have read Penn Jillette’s fiction and think that both of them are really interesting individuals. I could have done worse.
