Prozac

I scored a 12 on the second depression screening

High enough to get happy pills and a councilor

So the doc gave me Prozac

And gave my mom a list of places to call for a councilor

But for the first two weeks I'm only supposed to take one a day

Not enough to make me feel better

But enough to see if I experience

And worsening anxiety or depression

And any other negative side effects

And a small dilemma

The doc told me to take it at night

Pharmacist said morning

A 50% chance it'll give me a boost of energy

A 50% chance it'll make me drowsy

But if I loose either way the effect is the same

And I'm not sure it'll matter the way things are going

I don't have enough energy to do anything anyway
