abusethat must be a totally aweful experience *shudder*. my mom was on prozac, and though it didn't make her stop caring, it did cause a bunch of other problems. they really should put that stuff on warning labels. great poem.

abuseReally powerful... tainted and perfect.
hehehe: as soon as I started reading it I got PCP by the Manic Street Prechers stuck in my head. The ending were it goes "Pass the Prozac, designer amnesiac"... and I realised this is exactly what you were talking about. The way you forget your emotions and nothing else... completely designed extraction.
But I can't help but think that sometimes I would love to be wiped of all feeling. Would love to get away from my stupid sensations and brutally human reactions... I don't know. I guess there's no way (at this moment) for me to know what that would be like. I guess it would just make all the emptiness grow. And then again it would mean the loss of all the good times too (even if they're sometimes scarce)...
Anyway. Thanks for writing this. Thought provoking and inspirational.

abuseThere's so much emotion behind this. I remember there was a day where I couldn't feel at all. I hated not being able to experience any emotion. But this was very well-written. Great job! Keep up the good work. :)

abuseLove it.

My mom's on prozac, and I was almost on it but I refused because of the reasons cited in this writing piece.

It doesn't make you happy, that's truth, it just numbs everything like ice. But everyone knows ice can eventually freeze you- burn you too oddly enough.

Anyways if you could follow that metaphor- not caring can be worse than feeling something- anything.

:)

Good luck on writing.

abusetry being on 450 mg of ** you cant even pronounce

this is so beautiful and true
but for the last line
instead of: It just makes you stop caring.

it should be: It just makes you-stop.

i dont know
because its bitter
and you dont need the part about not caring
because its hinted

really good

abuseI love the way it's set up, and the subtitle "The stuff they don't put on the warning labels".

abuseHoly ** **. Someone knows how I feel. o.o I thought I was the only one...

I like to say that the reason I'm not suicidal anymore is not because the Prozac makes me happy... it's because the Prozac makes me afraid to die.

And what's worse than that?

abuse**! Tell me about it. At first I was excited to be put on depression medication, I thought it would help me, but the very day they put me on it (I was in a psychiatric hospital) I started crying "they stole my emotions!" Now it's like I'm living in this void of happiness. It doesn't belong.
Anyhow..You did a good job on this.

abuseall i can say is i love your writting style.
this is the first poem of yours i read, but i have read others -not all yet, but random ones- and came back to this one to review.
all of your work that i have read so far, has an emotion behind it that i don't think i could dream of writting.
it seems all effortless and pure truth.
and i love it.
