It was at that moment, that Ronald knew he had a problem.. And it wasn't the drugs.

Turns out, I’m not sick… I’m a f’cking junkie!

I awoke this morning, and actually felt somewhat human. Then I got out of bed. Lying in the shower, wondering if the blade in my disposable razor was enough to slice my head off, it dawned on me.

After a little googling at work, and a quick visit to the GP across from work, my suspicions were confirmed.

The aches, stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, sweating, sleeplessness, fatigue, shakes, chills, muscle spasms? Withdrawal symptoms from coming off Aropax.

I’ve been tapering off my anti-depressants for about a month – under the supervision of my regular GP – and took the last dose a week ago. Apparently, Aropax is one of the worst SSRI’s to come down off.

I’ve been told this is what it feels like to come down from heroin. I certainly won’t be chasing the f’cking dragon any time in this existence. 

The Doctor was confused as to which end was doing the talking ...

So, I was browsing the interwebz for an image of my wonder drug Phernergan, when I came across this little gem:

Do not take Phenergan rectal by mouth. It is for use only in your rectum.

Uhh, thanks for those wise words, MedStore.

Just like a Penguin in Bondage, boy ...

I was robbed! Of my weekend.

The majority was spent dosed up on enough Promethazine Hydrochloride (or, Phenergan) to kill a fruitbat, sleeping – when my head wasn’t getting up close and personal with the “white porcelain bus”.

Somebody, please give me a bullet .. Anybody??

Just for a change, I’d like to be well … I’d like to be living my life, rather than watching it pass me by.
