Stealing work..

by

Below you will find a photo that I found on someone else’s blog.  Usually I don’t get to freaked out when people discuss anti-depressants and anti-anxiety drugs unless they happen to be talking smack about the folks who need them.  And, then…then I get terribly bent out of shape and I start to get this twitch in my lip, my brain starts to work overtime and I feel as if I might explode any minute.

So, when I saw this sign, and read the post that went with it, I got a good hearty laugh, which really, it isn’t like me to find this kind of thing funny.  But,the post that accompanied the photo was very much pro-medication if you need it so of course, that makes it a lot easier to get a good laugh.

As someone who has used all 3 of those drugs at some time or another and just happens to be using the one in the middle now, I can’t help but get a good hearty laugh.  Yea, Zoloft wasn’t very kind to me and Paxil was good while I was pregnant but you know, pregnant women are kind of weird and hormonal anyway.  

Prozac was my friend all the way back in the late 80’s and early 90’s when it first came out on the market.  I remember people were going on Oprah talking about how Prozac was causing people to have these urges to have sex and the people were going out and doing wild things.  I also remember my mom freaking out when she heard this kinds of things.

I gave up on in early 2002 but came back to it about 6 months ago and couldn’t be happier.  It really is a good drug for me.  And, on a side note, if you’ve ever rode in the vehicle with someone who has serious rode rage or been the victim of someone who has rode rage, that sign gets just a tad bit funnier doesn’t it?
