Pronounced side effect upon my dreams... courtesy Fluoxetine hydrochloride

Fluoxetine Hcl (C17H18F3NO·HCl)

known as Selective Serotonin
Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI),

especially prescribed to treat

depression, panic disorder,

 

and obsessive-compulsive disorder

the above symptoms

profoundly experienced by yours truly

said prescription medication

seriously impacts sleep (mine).

 

Debilitating panic attacks
wrought (particularly years gone by)

physiological displeasures chiefly constituting

vertigo, racing heart, nausea,

excessive perspiration, adrenaline
coursing thru body,

whereby Prozac (brand name regarding

aforementioned synthesized chemical)
ameliorated unbearable, unmanageable, untenable...
earth-shaking, devastating,
and crushing manifestations

disabling, exhausting, jackknifing... functionality

hijacking life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.

 

Essentially yours truly experiences

dilemma analogous to sleep deprivation,

cuz ofttimes upon arising,

I feel utterly tuckered out, exhausted, bushed...

thus zapped body, mind and spirit


ill suited to physical,
mental or spiritual endeavor
subsequently lovely bones (mine)

(pine to join grateful dead)

rather than feebly kickstart
lame effort to write, read or meditate.

 

Thus respecting Sir Isaac
Newton's first law of motion
a (human) body at rest
inertia keeps said entity at rest.

 

Interestingly enough as
daylight doth wax and wane

casting dark shadows upon urbane

countenance buzzfeeding hidden reservoir

exerting estimable energy

decreasing arduous strain

therefore purposefulness,
I seek renewable resource to imbue
garden variety generic

doubting thomas and ordain

him (i.e. me) with spontaneous

 

magnificent grandiloquent enlightenment

ala Orson Welles Citizen Kane

laughable comparison linkedin
with story extraordinaire quite insane

September 4th, 2020 insight one can gain

perchance even coaxing passable poem

from deep within Matthew Scott Harris' brain.
