It's just a powder... White Pressed and covered in an enteric-coated shell... Altering my mind to chemically convince me that I'm well. Branded to fix all the dopamine and serotonin... In lieu of my over-indulgence of caffeine and melatonin. Side effects may include suicidal thoughts and/or actions... Yet misery also holds a certain level of attraction.

Today’s poem brought a smile and the memory of Kurt Vonnegut’s book, “Breakfast of Champions.” Thank you!

You’ve described it perfectly. It’s difficult and strange sometimes to explain to people that SSRIs themselves can cause depression as a side effect. The dopamine rush from caffeine and in my case cigarettes is no longer what it was. These days, ennui consumes me all the time.

Yeah same. I just got off my Zoloft (again and hopefully forever) but still take Wellbutrin.
I’m immune to caffeine and nicotine at this point…
I feel the exact same way as you. Just blah.

This piece is so relatable. I’m on Zoloft too. Would love not to have to take it because I get the meh feeling too, but I think I’d rather be dealing with that than being chronically agitated as I was for the last 50 years without medication.

Meh is my favorite word lol. It definitely helps with the agitation for me as well. But it also seems to make me cloudy and dead inside. There’s so many pros and cons. Be

lol Meh is such an appropriate word for so many things! Yeah, I feel what you’re saying. Definitely pros and cons, just depends on what you can tolerate. Good luck with your situation, Hal.
