"Drugs in contemporary America

"are like prostitutes in Victorian Europe: 
Life could not go on without them, 
everyone depends on them one way or another, 
but no one ever thanks them. 
They don’t fit in with the global lie we tell about this life."


"I lived the first 37 years of my life in perpetual 
terror and self-loathing. 
I used to walk around Berkeley whispering to myself,
There is nothing in my heart but fear.”

- John Dolan.

I wish to acknowledge my debt to Duloxetine,
which I found by researching through Google,
and even in the wonderful Vaults of Erowid,
and which I simply told my doctor to prescribe me.
Its secret is
that it is one of the few anti-depressants to contain 
a dopamine re-uptake inhibitor.

But read this alternative view

'I believe depression is a message from a part of your being,telling you [or yelling at you that] something in your life isn’t right.'

"Horses for courses..."

Ahh, I use duloxetine as well. I'm very grateful for it, except perhaps for when I'm late taking it and it creates a bizarre electric sensation inside my eyeballs.

Just because I've put some distance between myself and depression doesn't mean we're not still close, though. Who would I even be on my own?
