will not be depressed and suicidal out of spite
May 8, 2008 by dailypiglet
evidently, this chantix can bring on depression and suicidal tendencies. (anyone know that band?)
day three of the drug, i can say that it is causing lots of sleepiness.
tmim called me earlier today, (side note: if she were ever to stalk a person she’d be really good at it). some times she calls me like 10 times a day, i guess she really likes me a lot. (if she’s reading this, this is for comedic effect and what i refer to as “a funny”.)
while i am on the subject, if you are a real life friend or family and find yourself the subject on my blog, if you take offense to anything i say please let me know so that i never do it again.
i had just dropped off the boy at gymnastics and had arrived at costco and she called in search of some gardening tips. i’ve forewarned her that she could become obsessed like i am since she and i have similar tendencies. i’m just glad to be able to pass on my knowledge that ONLY CAME FROM MAKING LOTS OF MISTAKES. when i first began my gardening, i relied on magical sis for advice in addition to my own major mistakes. i learn best this way, not always my favorite way but oh well.
i told tmim about my weird symptoms and she said “i just heard on a morning show that it causes depression and suicidal thoughts”. well, there you go.
now that i KNOW that is a side effect, i will do everything in my power to not let it become a problem for me. out of spite, i will do this. i am a recovering-alcoholic irish-catholic person and we have strange reasons for doing things. as long as it gets us to the place we need to be, i guess it’s ok.
i’m still smoking like a bitch in heat, but supposedly i’ll crave them less and less. (you’d think after spending three full months with my dad that had lung cancer, complete with chemo treatments that i would have quit then but alas i did not).
Some how I feel like your spite will overpower any obstacles that find themselves in your mighty path
You are a tough lady, and if the Chantix messes with you, it will think twice before ever doing it again.
Your blog looks great! I thought I took a wrong turn for a minute there. Where did you find that great picture up there? I feel like I’ve seen it before.
I’m assuming you know that your blogroll (beautiful people speak) needs some tweaking… I only noticed it cuz my own sidebar is so often in disarray.
I’ve heard of Suicidal Tendencies but don’t recall what they play… Are you a fan?
Hope you have a really good day.
Oh yeah, I promised my own dad on his deathbed ten years ago that I would quit smoking. I will. Someday…
Ahem. As I am not fully awake- please disregard what I said about your blogroll. I see now that it is not your blogroll, but your comments. *red face*
And I see that Kevlar was here. God help you… lol
Kick that Chiantix in the balls if it gives you a problem. (But if it makes you feel funny, sick or you can’t get out of bed, Welbutrin is also the same ingredient that is in another stop smoking medication. It is also an antidepressant. So no smoking, depression or sucicidal thoughts. Just rainbows and sausages.) I am crazy too, but I don’t smoke…my mom would kill me (and yes I am a grown woman who is still afraid of an ass whooping from her mom) but my dad does so we all know about the whole start stop struggle.
I know you can do it!! Irish-Catholic-Sister of mine.
Any tips on getting the garden to grow quickly here? In Seattle, in the RAIN?
I love you.
one wink: i totally am using the same template that you are! and, that pic should be familiar cos it’s the one i sent to you with a special message
you are awesome! i thought i recognized kevlar from somewhar’s….
faith: i’ll get to work on the “garden opportunity” you presented straight away. (i STILL got the corporate lingo!) i’ve tried the welbutrin and it did work for me a little but not enough. i am doubling my effexor to (hopefully) fight the bad stuff in the chantix.
we irish are quite the scrappers we are!
If you could see my gallery collection of cool pictures, you would understand why that didn’t click with me right off, but sheesh, I should have remembered that, dammit! So sorry
