Vital Signs

Today I went to my two week follow up for the new Zoloft prescription. I have been on the medicine for 13 days and could not be more pleased. To put evidence of my relief in quantifiable terms, my vital signs were as follows before starting the Zoloft:

Blood pressure: 140 over 90

Resting pulse: 94 bpm

Weight: 173

Mood: scared and agitated

Today:

Blood pressure: 110 over 60

Resting pulse: 60 bpm

Weight: 170

Mood: happy

I'm officially a walking advertisement for anti-depressants. I'm a little upset at myself for waiting all these years to try an SSRI but I can't and won't beat myself up over it.
