I am feeling rather depressed; here are things that are happening

[raven]

Baby's Latest Adventure in Pharmacology - clomipramine hydrochloride, a tricyclic antidepressant that I've been prescribed for sleep issues, on the grounds that I might have been having an idiosyncratic response to the amitriptyline. Fair enough, I said, and filled the prescription.

From the Wikipedia article, with citation:

"In about 5% of patients, it can cause inadvertent orgasms when yawning."^[1]

This is five percent of people taking fifteen times the dose I'm on. But. Um. Well.

In similar news, Her Next Door just had a scenery-chewing orgasm. I am playing the tick tick... BOOM! soundtrack very loudly indeed.

In not at all similar news, I have two exams, two advocacy sessions and two long-haul flights this week, tomorrow's forecast is for heavy snow, and in an hour and a half, I turn twenty-three.

WHY CAN I NOT HAVE THOSE SIDE EFFECTS.

*grins* isn't it AMAZING.

IS IT

It's gone beyond loud music girl. It's at 'nicely worded but firm letter that this is Not On' time. Followed quickly by 'complaint to their landlord' time.

Happy birthday sweetheart <3

*waaaail* I knooow. I am just too pathetic and social-phobic to do anything about it.


And thank you!

Oh love! *pets* (and hardly registers the notion of toddler lawyer not going litigious on their asses!) It's true that the anonymous note can lead to an awfully awkward face to face. All we can do is hope she breaks his penis.

slasheuse is always saying PILLS KILL OFF THE LIBIDO.

...How wrong she clearly is.

*nods sagely* very very wrong.

Happy birthday!

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

Iona, you completely win at life.

I can't promise you anything on the scale of grimandancient, but you'll end up getting something in the mail. Though not in time for tomorrow. :) Is there anything you'd really like from San Francisco?

Happy Birthday and good luck with new pills!

[jacinthsong.livejournal.com]

Really good luck.

[tau_sigma]

I cannot even imagine what that is like. Possibly partly due to the opposite effect of my pills, but. Still. When yawning? Bloody hell.

(Also, I love how the doctor is quoted as saying people find it 'quite pleasant'. Aww. Yeah. But really, I'd imagine kind of awkward, in some situations?!)

I quite want to phone up Her Next Door and tick her off for you. It is really Not On, but I totally understand being too social-phobic to tackle the problem. *hugs*

Also: HAPPY BIRTHDAY. It occurs to me that, in the card which I sent you, I may have waffled so much that I forgot to actually wish you a happy birthday. I am not sure. So, yes. Happy birthday, my dear. I hope you have a good day; I'm not sure how easy that will be with everything you have to do this week, but take at least an hour or two to relax with a glass of wine, if possible, yes? *squishes you*

I hope your twenty-third birthday is a good one (as good as the orgasms are next door? But perhaps not in the scenery-chewing way).

Good luck, too, with the exams, flights, weather, etc. I have been thinking about writing you birthday fic but did my essay instead, which was sensible although not fun. Would you like a little something about Scully, maybe?

Best Side Effect ever. As long as you never get sleepy at work and yawn.

Hope you manage to have a happy birthday, despite all of that!
