Downdate on you?
Hello everyone. Hi everybody. Greetings, All. I am kind of a different person, now. I’m still taking lithium (900mg/pm) and invega trinza (1/3mo), but now I’m also just starting clozapine. Plus fun things like amlodapine, stool softener, and docusate. Docusate is the red pill. If you bite into it you get a nasty surprise. I’ve been feeling weak, unsteady. At one pointt I thought I might fall, just waliking to my room. My hands have been shaky. My writing has turned to chicken scratch. I’ve been nauseous. 300 mg. of clozaril, … I have been staggering around, oversleeping, and am definitely wondering if I am overmedicated. I go for weekly bloodwork, to monitor the clozapine, for 6 months, then every 2 weeks for the next 6 months. I've been warned about too much sugar.
I missed my night dosage last night. I’ve been sleeping a lot. But I feel much better today (Sunday 7-27). I need a pillbox. And a container for all my obsolete medication. This is not rocket science.
I’m reading Crying of Lot 49 by Pynchon, about halfway through. I’ve been guzzling down lemonade, gatorade, vitawater, Starbucks coffee, the occasional red bull. Thirsty.
I’m losing weight. Like 18 pounds over 3 months. Not as hungry. Twix, Doritos seem kind of gross. I still like a Coke, tho.
K is really low-key which is helpful as I adjust to the meds and how the meds make me feel. We’re both really sleepy. Our room looks really good. I think we need to get some more storage bins to clear out space. The minimalist aesthetic . HOS tonight (Sunday 10p- Mid) on KALW.

Good Day, everyone. It’s lovely weather here in Berkeley, not too hot, not too cold. I bought 9 mochis, and a breakfast burrito (vegan chorizo). Plus some Sprite and 4 giant peaches. It’s mellow and relaxed at home; we’re doing laundry, and texting family. Tonight is HOS. I read the Crying of Lot 49, and started reading Spanish (dictionary, grammar). My landlord Edgar invited me to go to his home in Acapulco. I have yet to refill the bird feeder in the back yard. The peach trees are in bloom. But half the yucca tree felll over. It’s nice to sit in the yard, in the sun, with or without a cigarette. This week I’m expecting a fun package from Amazon. It’s fun to immerse in spanish, speech, radio, tv, books, magazines, and of course just plain old thought.
Buenos dias, todos! La clima aquí es muy agradable, ni bastante caloroso ni bastante frio. Compré 9 mochis, y un burrito de desayuno sin carne. Y Duraznos! Qué maravilla!
