SSRI - deprived / morning math

me -Zoloft ___________ tired, grumpy, moody, anxious, easily annoyed with other people's stupidity and dependency problems, more likely to think you have aforementioned problems if you whine about anything. Today is not a good day. Almost a week off my "happy pills" as Josh calls them because the pharmacy couldn't be bothered to retry billing the insurance. So this morning at o'dark thirty I called the insurance company, who were VERY helpful ... and then called the pharmacy and told them nicely that they need to push my Rx through because there was no reason why it shouldn't go through. They called back within 15 minutes to let me know that I could pick it up at my convenience. GRRR. Damn, I hate being moody. And I'm mid-cycle too.

Did I do that? Or not?

I can't remember. Didn't I tell you about that? Are you sure? Did I do that? I thought I did. I am really hating the hallucinations/vivid dreams. This morning I had to ask my housemate if I had gotten up this morning and cooked. Because I dreamed it had happened, in detail and pretty much in the order that I later did it. I have full conversations that I remember. I dream/remember doing tasks that I am confused about later when I see that they are not done. And of course, my quality of sleep has started to suffer. Just earlier this morning I was falling asleep at my desk. I'm now drinking (guzzling) a Caramel Mocha frappacino in the hopes that I will wake up. And I have been gently reminded to stop surfing except on breaks.

Weight Loss

you know what sucks? Since stopping my Zoloft I am sleeping a little better, but in 3 weeks I have gained about 15 pounds. I may just have to buy a scale and put some effort into losing weight. Used to be that I just thought about losing weight and it would happen. Or I could go back on the Zoloft, but then I wouldn't sleep well. Catch-22. And yes, I can already hear it from some of you. But I feel best at 135-145 and I am almost 25 pounds over 145. Talk about junk in the trunk! Back to work.
