Life, Work, Travel, and Other Side Effects

It is 2 AM on the seventh day of my return to the world of antidepressants. I am thus experiencing the worst of the side effects, but I have yet to enjoy any of the benefits. I've done this before, so I'm not surprised, but that doesn't make it fun. I have a badly dry mouth, so I'm drinking water all the time, which also entails pissing all the time. When I do sleep, I often have the strangest dreams. And I'm hypervigilant for any signs of jaundice, as the drug has very rarely been linked to total, permanent liver failure.
