Day one on the alien planet...

So last night I started my new meds. 
Lemme explain... A couple of months ago I finally went to the doctors and she said then that she was going to eventually put me on an anti depressent and true to her word, this visit, she did.
Although she very cleverly hid it and its side effects behind it being a daily migraine control med. 
You know this meds on television that tell you all the side effects up front?  Well there's always a couple that they don't mention on the ad...
So this new headache med... I asked her about the side effects yesterday and she said it was a combinations of things.  It would make me drowsy.  So take it at bedtime.  It might give me a couple of days where I will want to stay in bed all day.  Oh and... The biggie... It would increase my sexual desire.
I have little interest in actual sex so some interest might be nice.  Might not.  I can't imagine that I would go out coming onto strangers because I suddenly want to have sex but then again... It's me.  You know me.  Me on any kinda kick is dangerous in itself...
So this morning, I managed to drag my eyes open and realized usually by then I could at least form the idea to get out of bed whereas today it wasn't happening.  The doc called me back around twelve and said that while the effects of managing the migraines would take six weeks to reach best effect, the actual effects would be immediate.  The anti depressent would yes, make me want to stay in a dark room all day. (This has never been so with any of my meds) the increased sexual desire might take a week or so but the sleepiness would be immediate and level off in a little while.
Gotta say as long as its a little while, I guess I can deal with it.  I'm going to start the countdown at today to the increased sexual desire. 
This is going to be funny.  I know it will.  Funny sad, BTW.  Not funny, haha...
