ProzacNation
Increase the dose
Take me to the limit
Fill me to the brim
Let me see stars & let my head swim
Increase the strength
Push me to maximum
Send me to the sky
Let me lose control & let me fly
I can handle it
These shakes are normal & these convulsions are routine
Just need a handful of Paracetamol & a shot of Morphine
I’m not addicted; I can handle it; I’m completely clean
We all live in a Prozac Nation
Where every store is a pill-popping station
We all live in a Prozac Nation
Where everyone’s into self-medication
Decrease the dose
Take me from the limit
Pull me from the brim
I see darkness & I’m gonna fall in
Decrease the strength
Take me to minimum
Bring me back down
I’ve lost control & I’m gonna drown
I can’t handle it
These shakes aren’t normal & these convulsions not routine
Just need a fistful of Paracetamol & a shot of Morphine
I’m addicted; I can’t handle it; I need quarantine

My Dearest One,
I remember those days When every Psychiatrist was giving out prescriptions for Prozac instead of listening to the patients symptoms. It was the band-aid cure for everyone! I took it for a year and found suicidal thoughts increased. Many people chose to suicide on that damned drug! I came very close to it.
I loved your poem and how you presented your thoughts. My favorite lines are:
I can handle it
These shakes are normal & these convulsions are routine
Just need a handful of Paracetamol & a shot of Morphine
I’m not addicted; I can handle it; I’m completely clean
love, Sis
