Psychiatric pharmaceuticals I have known and... known. 

When I started on duloxetine, the first few days saw me getting ultra-strong urges to nap through midday, even while on dextroamphetamine. (Cymbalta overpowered Adderall. Sounds like a Pokémon fight, yeah?) This faded to merely occasionally feeling like I wanted to nap the day away.

Now that I'm well into TMS, that side effect is coming back with a vengeance. Today, I'm trying to fight it off long enough to make some business-hours calls.

@ElectricKeet Oh hey, you qualified for the daily degaussings?

@Momentrabbit I did! But apparently only because of a "typo" in the insurance company's legalese defining what's covered, and apparently they scrambled to have a fix up the very next day.

Yeah, they really wanted me to suffer another few months of having the same class of drugs fail to work, mostly so they could delay the shorter-duration-but-more-expensive-appearing treatment until my deductible reset.

Smash capitalism.

@ElectricKeet *sigh* Those fuckers.
