The first day

I went down to the pharmacy on the third floor of the building in the hospital where I work today and got my 30 day supply of Wellbutrin XL 150 mg. This is the stuff that is supposed to make at least some of my problems go away.

I realized that it would take a lot of effort and will power in addition to the pills to make myself more organized, my mind less easily distracted, my life less scattered, but nonetheless there was a decent moment of excitement and terror when I took the pill.

Of course, nothing happened. My psychiatrist told me it would take at least a month for me to start feeling the effects of the medicine, another 60 days till it was full on. I've started keeping a little notebook (a planner of sorts) on me at all times, as well as my phone with a little app called "remember the milk" which is a kind of a running to do list, and I've been trying really hard not to give into distractions. I noticed nothing in particular today except for a slight eyelid twitch, which might have been from allergies or the fact that the air felt especially dry today. I'll try not to think to much about that as that might cause it to come on more and I don't think it's actually related to the Wellbutrin. Here's to day 2.
