Friend, 'You need to get off all those meds'

Posted by Phil on August 23, 2013, at 20:26:56

I've been friends with this guy for 33 years. We met working at a stereo store back when stereo was for real.

So, he was there when I was first dx with depression 30 years ago then bipolar ten(?) years ago.

He knows I take a lot of meds and I've told him years ago that bipolar=meds. Some get by without meds, more power to them.

Since he said that I've added two more meds for physical problems, one is for life.

I told my friend that I wasn't sure that hopping off my meds was a good protocol to follow. He stood his ground.

This cat is smart! He said I noticed you cycling...I said whoa. Send everything you remember to me.

Very detailed and for one depression he put me on an 8-9 out of 10 scale. I don't even recall being that depressed.

But I should have asked him what he might think that cycling would do without anything to slow it down.

This guy is like a brother and is saying what he thinks is in my best interest. For all I know, he may be right.

aside: I can be talking to him about anything then ask, R what was the political climate and structure like in Russia in 1763? He could give you an hour off the top of his head.

one more...we have seen a lot of concerts together. We were talking and I said one band I wished I had seen was Alice Cooper.

He said, you did.

I did what?

You saw Alice Cooper.

When?

Two weeks after Tull and a month before Fleetwood Mac.

Did I have a good time?

Yeah.

Good.

back to meds

My friend has one flaw, he's a far right wing lunatic. Really, a lunatic.
Glenn Beck the right wing nutcase on high volume and my friend turns into a total yelling, screaming, racial this etc.

So, now when I see him I take Seroquel, Lithium, and clonazepam ground into a fine dust and gradually pour it into his beer. Kinda hard to dose, really. Last time he slept for three days.
