This is a turbulent and dynamic time in
politics all across the world. There’s the Muslim Summer, wait that’s wrong;
Arab Winter; no that’s not right either. Well in any case there’s been a ton
of people in the Middle East trying to be free. Europe is on the brink of a catastrophic
economic breakdown (and the Germans aren’t too pleased about it; which has
never been good for history). China and Russia are well, China and Russia.
Finally the political atmosphere right here in our own country is on a fiscal
cliff of intolerant partisan bullshit.
Speaking of bullshit have you ever
seen those commercials about a certain anti-psychotic by the name of Abilify? You
probably have and just zoned it out, I mean you’re not psychotic right (maybe
you are, you know that I’m not judging though). I know before episode Uno I
always just zoned out during those drug commercials that had no relevance to my
life. I pay a little closer attention now, especially when it comes to side effects.
Abilify Side Effects:
·
fever, stiff muscles, confusion, sweating, fast or uneven heartbeats;
·
jerky muscle movements you cannot control;
·
sudden numbness or weakness, headache, confusion, or problems with
vision, speech, or balance;
·
fever, chills, body aches, flu symptoms, sores in your mouth and throat;
·
increased thirst or urination, loss of appetite, fruity breath odor,
drowsiness, dry skin, nausea, and vomiting;
·
seizure (convulsions);
·
thoughts of hurting yourself;
·
feeling like you might pass out;
·
jaundice (yellowing of your skin or eyes); or
·
urinating less than usual or not at all.
I like
to drink that all in from time to time because this drug (and its side effects)
is approved by the FDA (that’s our intolerant partisan bullshit government I referred to
earlier). A doctor can legally prescribe you to take the double recommended daily
dosage of 15mg and the side effects that accompany it (yeah I was on 30mg which
is the last dosage that has been “safely” tested in a clinical trial; makes me
feel all warm and fuzzy inside). I experienced a majority of these side effects
and I will say I really didn’t have any favorites.
So I
was going to list the side effects of lithium (the drug I’m on now) here but
while looking them all up from the world
wide web I found this gem of a warning from a respected medical website (no I’m
not naming names):
Lithium can cause side effects that may impair your thinking
or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be
awake and alert.
Looks like I have to stop writing (and basically living life)
and continue to try and live and write later when I don’t need to be awake and
ale...
Since many of my manic experiences
involve music I’ve decided to add random music videos to the blog for my
enjoyment and your inconvenience. Enjoy!
