Baptism

Posted on November 8, 2002 in Depression Psychotropics

Yesterday I saw my new psychiatrist for the first time. She and I decided to wean me off Prozac and introduce my serotonin starved brain to Effexor.

I dropped my prescription off at Rite Aid, had dinner, and came back afterwards to retrieve it. As Lynn and I left the store, rain began to dot the parking lot. I don’t believe that the universe works so nicely that our emotions get affirmed in its phenomena, but, nevertheless, my mind seized on the sweet smell as an portent of good things likely to come.
