Hi all —

New meds/dosages kicking my ass tight now, so don’t expect much…

900 MG Lithium (unchanged)
40 MG Prozac (doubled)
50 MG Seroquel ( new — heavy duty anti-psychotic; in this low dose, designed to stop the mania that’s keeping me up nights)

I feel like a zombie. But I took today off and wrote. That was good.

More when I can focus.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

12:30 AM: guess what?

It ain’t working. Shit.

I took a whole pill on Saturday night and slept for 18 hours (thus explaining why I didn’t make it to Asylum semifinals).

Shit again.

I’d like to be more eloquent, but I think that sums it up better than any poem at this point.

    Thinking of you.
    You are so brave to be out there with this.
    Hopefully, this will all be over in a few weeks
    for you. I hope so. The thing is to
    get your sleep.

    Ever hear the Lou Reed song, “Heroin.”? We can
    just change the words to Seroquel or Risperdal,
    or Desyrel…and pop instead of drop.

    “I don’t know…which way
    I’m going.
    But, I’m gonna try
    for the Kingdom if I can
    ’cause it makes me feel like
    I’m a man (to pop instead of
    put a spike into my hand).
    SERRRRRRRROQuel
    I wish that
    I was born 10,000 years
    ago.
    And I wish that
    I was on a
    GREAT BIG CLIPPer SHIP
    SAILING FROM THIS LAND
    HERE TO THAT
    ALL IN A SAILOR’S SUIT
    AND HAT.
    SERRRRRRRRRRRRRRO-QUILL.
