Last week, I went to the post office and filled out all the paperwork for a new passport. The first time I went, I brought my old passport from when I was five years old since the website said that an expired passport was a valid form of identification. At the post office, they informed me that the old passport was expired too long and that I would need to start over again. So I had to go a second time with my birth certificate.
On the second trip to the post office, I signed in on the clipboard and waited around for two hours while the people behind the counter picked their butts and did nothing productive for a long time. When they finally got to me, they asked me if I had my old passport. I didn't bring it, because it was expired too long and I didn't think I would need it for anything. I told them I lost it, because I didn't feel like coming back a third time.

Prozac was making me eat like crazy and put on weight, even at the low dose I was taking. It's a shame, because I like Prozac and it seems to work otherwise. So when I saw the shrink last night, he switched me to Luvox. So far, the Luvox has irritated my stomach a bit, but that should pass after I've been on it for a while. It will take a few weeks before the drug shows its true colors, but I'm hopeful.
And I can now say I've been on every single* SSRI at some point in my life. I feel accomplished, or something.
*I've never been on Celexa, but I've been on Lexapro, and Lexapro is a variant of Celexa.
