On the left is celexa, a common antidepressant. Celexa has no discernable side effects on me. Unfortunately, I'm of the opinion that it doesn't really help my depression at all, either. I'm bipolar, and I feel pretty good these days, but the next time I get depressed, I don't expect celexa to couch my fall. Hopefully, by then, I'll have a better shrink than the one I've been seeing. It could be that I just need a higher dosage, since I'm only taking one of these a day, which is considered pretty minimal. 

This is the big dog: Zyprexa. I've heard three people refer to it as "electroshock therapy in a can." It's an antipsychotic, and does in fact cause sedation, short-term memory loss, and extremely muted reactions when misused and/or used properly. That's rather the point: my reactions are considered extreme, irrational, and excessively volatile; in short, mad. So the Zyprexa mutes them. I'm supposed to be taking 10 milligrams a day, but that makes me sleep too much so I only take five.

Another side effect of Zyprexa is vivid, cinematic, complex, and utterly absorbing dreams. I highly recommend that everyone take Zyprexa at least once to experience the awesome dreams that it generates. Every night I sleep in a movie house rivaling Kubrick for darkness and Fritz Lang for intensity. Given that, before the Zyprexa, the little sleep I got was punctuated constantly by horrible nightmares of poison arachnids and ursine eviscerations, I'm pretty happy with my current dream-states. They're creepy, but unmedicated, my dreams are fucking horrible. 

This is maca. It's an inexpensive herb that is designed to promote energy. Or rather, I take it for energy. It's sold as an aphrodisiac. Someone recommended it to me for energy, and failed to warn me that my horniness level would increase. She claims now that she did warn me, and I forgot. Hard to say. Anyway, it works pretty well for energy.
