A theme that I keep seeing nowadays is that you CAN'T have your cake and eat it too. Bruce Wayne can't be Batman and lead a normal life as Rachel Dawes' husband. Barbara Streisand couldn't be a good mother and a telecaster...at least at the same time according to her. And of course I can't be uber sharp and take my anxiety pills.
It seems that every medication I've taken so far involves a tradeoff between *whats the word, damn pills* mental acuity and some 'beneficial' effects. I can be more tolerant of anxiety on Risperdal...but I end up forgetting to do some online paperwork and thus go without two weeks' paycheck...lightly crash a car...forget all manner of useless and not so useless information (passwords?)...and the list goes on. Maybe I'm just not lucky but I'm beginning to wonder whether this tradeoff is worth it...
