I take Requip 15mg ,Madopar 3tbl. (last month), and Cipralex 10mg for depression (1 year) ,1 sleeping pill every evening. The side effects are listed in this packing, enclosure,- you hope for the best and swallow what you are told.

One side effect I think I had : I used a lot of money on buying things I did not need, clothes ,wrong color ,size, style, things for my kitchen, paintings,:absolutely horrible picture, materials, my plan was to make curtains, dresses.-- I had enough of everything, I gave my sewing machine away 2 years ago, so after a while I started to wonder :what should I do with all this things and why was they in my home? I DID NOT LIKE THE THEM, I put them in the closet and the cellar, special one big picture was trash and ugly. For me it was absolutely stop shopping when I become aware of what I was doing.

Later I have heard about people getting addicted to gambling,- as a side effect, : I had shopping ,using ca 15 000- 20 000 kr, make it $ -,1$ is about7-8 kr.
I have also become new interests, like P.C.-surfing ,reading the papers on the net, writhing mails, writing my personal story about my life , my family can read it if they want when I am gone. New interests is also all this new technical things for science and communication , the future , quante theory,
string theory, itīs so exciting,- I take notes , and wonder --.

In Norway we have a little society, " The right of having a worthy death ".
I am a member , my children must sign in on the document as witnesses and
if I can not speak for my self, the health personal must , it is to be hope, do what I wish in the document , it is a support for them : to give me the right care .

I do not think that I am much depressed, only realistic in my situation. Something new is going on in my brain.
Pleace give me some worlds if you have similar experiences. It woud make me feel " more normal" .
