We can't stop here! This is BAT COUNTRY!

In my ongoing quest to straighten out a morbidly fucked-up body, my doctor and I are experimenting with various things, including some amphetamines he prescribed yesterday to give me energy and suppress appetite (not that eat much, but I guess the idea was that I would learn how to scale down to carrots and celery full-time).

NO I AIN'T TAKING THAT NO MORE AND YOU CAN'T MAKE ME AIIIEEEEEEEEEEEE

Everything was peachy for about five hours and I was Alerty McWorkistan. Then, the effects wore off and I had a bitch of a headache, horrible stomach gas, wanted to sleep, and ... cold arms!

The hell?

How do people get addicted to this? Or cigarettes? Shit, alcoholism is the only real thing I can get behind. Well, liquor and maybe narcotics.

WHERE'S THE MESCALINE?

Your doctor seriously gave you amphetamines for appetite suppression? I'm sorry but ... holy shit *jaw-drop* There are really REALLY good reasons why doctors quit doing that. I'm just boggling here.

It did seem odd, but in his defense, he'd scheduled me to come back after only one month and wouldn't give me more than a month's prescription. And in MY defense, I'm done with the stuff. I suspected it wouldn't work, and it's good to have that confirmed, I suppose.

I'm sorry I wasn't more clear - I wasn't pouncing on you, you have nothing to defend! It's the doctor I'm boggling at. I'm glad it all worked out well.

Oh, I know what you meant. I guess the short answer is, I don't know him well enough to know if this is normal. I think I'm going to try an endocronologist next ...
