Started a new antidepressant from the VA
Took it with a full supper today
Doc said, "Take it with a full meal
Because nausea is what you will feel"

About four hours later the drug hit me
Experienced some reactions
I didn't foresee
Felt like a big
Dark cloud moved in
Blocking a spot in the sky
Where the sun had been

My hands and face went numb
To this new med
I had just succumb
"What's that you say?
I can't hear you till
This ringing goes away"

Tried to stand up
But sat right back down
Threw up because my head
Was spinning round
My pulse was one twenty
And my pressure was one sixty four
Over one oh three
Tell me again how this med
Is so good for me

Tried to go to bed to get some rest
Couldn't do it
For this thing pounding in my chest
So remind me again why I am taking this
Oh yeah. So I can experience "true bliss"
