can’t take the pills anymore
I gave up on the pills. I couldn’t take the effect of the anti-histamines anymore. It never went away - not even 24 hours after I had taken them. Since I had to take one pill a day, I was effectively under the dense, foggy world of anti-histamines continuously. Not only did I not enjoy having an out-of-body experience, thanks to a heavy clouded head, I actually felt somewhat nauseous and, incredibly as it may sound considering these are anti-depressants I’m taking, suicidal even - especially when I was listening to Martinu’s Double Concerto for Two String Orchestras, Piano, and Timpani at the Dewan Filharmonik Petronas last night.
So… I decided not to take the little yellow pill last night and I must say I feel so much better today. More awake. More alert. More human. But my mind is still just a tad bit cloudy - there must be quite a lot of anti-histamine in that concoction for me to still feel it 36 hours after taking that last pill (!), either that or it’s the other chemicals working on my body. Whatever it is, not good… Must go see sympathetic doctor again on Monday. Maybe she’ll prescribe Xanax instead - apparently very popular among Malaysian bloggers… well, at least two I know!

hmmm… short half-life… that’s an idea! can kill two birds with one stone. literally. it’ll solve present life problems and push myself into the next life!
I don’t see why you’re prescribed with anti-histamines. All you need is Prozac. Or, you can try the prescription-free St. John’s wart, which is available in tablet form. I’ve been taking St. John’s wart for some time now, and there’s next to no side effects. It even makes me see a little better in the dark, which is useful in winter.
