The first day on my medication. Wow. Quite the experience. Not bad. Just...New.
Yeah, new. Overwhelming and a bit difficult to all take in right now. I took my medication first thing this morning along with my other "meal", being the vitamins and other meds I take for my health, both physical and mental, and felt...nothing. Absolutely nothing.
Until later this morning.
We went to Walmart to get our groceries and it was like I was speed-walking. I motored around the store like I was on speed. Everything got done fast, that was for sure! We picked up Olivia and I explained to our teachers that things will be changing in the near future, and for the better. I know we'll get more understanding and support that way. Then we hit up the mall near our house and we went looking at new glasses, for both of us. We wound up needing to see the optician, found out we needed new prescriptions. I managed to talk my way rapidly through all of that. After finally finding the glasses I liked that I could get today (the other ones I liked I can't get for 10 days and I don't want to worry about it) we came home to put away the groceries and meet Logan. Only, the world seemed a bit skewed. It was an odd feeling. I went to my bedroom for a bit of quiet and just read for a few minutes. It helped. But not a bad one...just odd. I can handle odd.
Logan got his homework done, I put away the groceries and we went back to the mall to get our glasses. The world is much clearer now. I love them. I like these far better than the original pick, so it worked out better in the long run anyway. We picked up a chicken dinner combo at Safeway and we are home, all fed. I'm a bit irritable, but that could be me being tired too. Though, I don't feel tired.
I did want to see if I could still have a beer or not while on the new medication. Turns out, I can, but it might just enhance the effects of the medication and until I'm sure how it's affecting me, then I should avoid it. I'll give it a couple days. I like beer and we're having guests this weekend. I know I'll want one at some point!
So, not so bad so far. It's all very new and it will take time to all sink in. There's a decent change I'll fall apart for a day, just trying to absorb it all, but in the meantime, I just go along with life. I'll probably post daily for the first while, seeing how things move along, and being that I would forget my head if it weren't tacked on securely, it's not a bad idea to keep up on it and see where I come from and where we go.
