You eediot

I've just started a new, additional antidepressant, Edronax. The shrink warned me that it could cause agitation, so I should watch out for that and increase the dose slowly. I took half a tab this am, but I also fired up my brand-new coffee percolator. Now I don't know if electricity is arcing out of my ears because of the meds or the unexpected level of caffeine I seem to have consumed. Or both. Don't try this at home, kids.

Percolated coffee has slightly less caffeine than filter coffee, so that's probably not it. Might be worth not washing the new meds down with an espresso, though!

(BTW, if I haven't already mentioned them, you could do worse than read Spider Robinson's books. The stuff he does to his characters makes the Ship's treatment of the Doctor look downright playful!)

Thanks for the rec! Always looking for new authors to try.

You're welcome! (He's been around since the 70's, though...)

They're a seriously good set of books, though. His Wiki page has a sortable list of them, so you can see them by publication date, character or series. They've even spawned a GURPS source book, which was a godsend when I was running a Doctor Who-themed game for a friend and ran out of plot!

*grin* New to me, anyway. :)

The LJ community that grew from it is a good place.

Lady Sally had her own version of Callahan's Law - "Shared despair is squared; shared hope is cubed (or more)."

A real place like Lady Sally's House of Healthy Repute? I might never leave...

Hope the electricity is grounded or well channeled soon. Hug.

No more perc-ed coffee until I figure things out. In meantime, back down to 1/4 of a tab. So many pills to take - I'm rattling! :D
