What doesn't mix well with fluoxetine

First things first: my psychiatrist is not sure whether I'm suffering from depression, so she sent me to a psychologist to get more background. Another week and a half of waiting. In the meantime, she prescribed me fluoxetine (aka Prozac), saying it won't hurt, but might help. Needless to say, I was eager to try it.

For the medicine to take any noticeable effect will take at least two to three weeks, but I'm pretty sure it already works in the system. The doctor said that a bit of alcohol won't be a problem, the thing is, she must have known a different measurements for 'a bit'. Long story short, I got completely wasted with amounts that wouldn't otherwise have that much of an effect on me. Lesson learned - drink less or nothing at all.

In retrospect, it was really stupid of me. Some things you've got to find out for yourself, though. I'm glad this misadventure ended up with just a few bruises. Another thing: when having low alcohol tolerance, always make sure that you won't be going home by yourself. It shouldn't need a mention, right? Well, I happen to lack some basic survival instincts on occasions.

Other news - I was invited on a trip to China. I must say, if it works, it might cure my disappointment with cancelled journeys of last summer. Tonight we'll be discussing the when and how.

There are quite a few things going on, concerning people, travels, work, education. I just hope I won't miss it because of inactivity - more and more deadlines come, and even though I could deal with all of it in one afternoon... I can't. I'd love to, but I can't. I'd need someone standing right behind me, urging me to make appointments, send mails etc. Why would I make it so difficult for myself? I have no idea.
