WELL TIME TO GO INTO WITHDRAWALS I GUESS

This is what might happen after my not very good doctor fails to realize that going off antidepressants cold turkey is actually dangerous (I run out in 3 days):

Wellbutrin Withdrawal Symptoms

Anger (Rage)
Anxiety
Body Aches
Crying Spells
Depersonalization (not feeling you are still you)
Depression
Dizziness
Fatigue
Headaches
Increased Appetite
Insomnia
Irritability
Lack of Coordination
Libido Changes (Lack of desire or hypersexuality)
Nausea
Seizures
Vomiting
Rapid Weight Gain (Reduced metabolic response)

These effects can last up to 8 weeks. The depression is usually rated as severe during this time. That in its self is a risk as there is also a large number of people who just up and stop that become implosive as well. Being clinically depressed and implosive at the same time can lead to self harm or suicide.

Strange thing is, some people experience literally no side effects of coming off the drug in this manner.

Being there is a good possibility that no clinic doctor will just up and give me psych meds to replace it, this is not a good situation at all. Also being that I'm prone to obesity the idea of a sudden and perhaps permanent drop in metabolic response is not a good thing in my mind.

I'm literally at a loss as to what to do. Even if I could get an appointment with him at this point, do I actually want one? He is obviously not one to care about a serious issue like this, so I don't actually know what going to see him would accomplish - I just don't see a point to it.

The stupidest part of this is, he does not have to give me a different drug at all, just a different kind of release method of the drug. I'm on the one a day slow release and that is the one they can't get in at the pharmacy. So giving me one of the other 2 kinds would be the way to go here. I just don't get it.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

Matilde Vicenzi Cookies Are Great

Image
Was sent these by a good friend for a birthday gift. They are really very good. Quite possibly the best cookies I've had in years. I tried them all, and I like the white one you see in the bottom picture, as it had a lemon taste to it. Some had a bit of liquid chocolate in them and where very good as well. Like normal, the ones with the bit of jam in them where a bit too sticky and chewie. But I seriously enjoyed all of them. These are great. I'm going to look them up on Amazon and if they are not too much money, I'm getting more for Christmas. OK just looked it up and NOPE, it's $28 a can. They are very good, but that is a bit out of my price range. But the usual Christmas Danish Butter Cookies are also kind of a lot of money now as well. They are also a bit moist, and not super dry like usual. Also not powdery like a lot of them do. I'd give these an 8/10 and would recommend highly.

Had a Great Birthday Lunch

Image
Went out on the 14th for my birthday lunch with friends. It was very enjoyable. I got the Jambalaya pasta and a Doctor Pepper (free refills so I had 3). Because I was celebrating my birthday, I got an ice cream sandwich for free and the "birthday song" sang to me. In the photo you see what my friends got me - Kicking Horse 454 Coffee and Double Chocolate TimTams, and a card. Earlier I posted a review of cookies I was sent by another friend. I also got some silverware. This is literally the first time in my life I have new silverware. I had been using very old ones for many years - at home with my parents, they had an even older set. I also never owned a salad fork LOL. There was no tea spoons with it, so I have older tea spoons still. I tried to look for just tea spoons, but they came in large numbers and I don't need 60 of them, I just want 4. I also got a total of $140 gifted to me by several nice people. I got some stuff I need and a toy I wanted (personal kind of toy)
