One should not smell bananas that aren’t there. So saith the psychiatric community.
I didn’t find it all that big a deal, personally. Do a reality check. You smelling bananas? You? You? You? No. Hmmms. I must be hallucinating banana smells. Ok, I’ll put the bananas on ignore.
But new shrinko says this is not good. So up on the meds. Well, no bananas now. But then again, by the time I saw shrinko, the bananas had been gone for weeks. I guess it’s ok if I don’t smell bananas in the future.
But man, the up-o on the meds is weird. Just like going up on them to begin with. Tingly lips. Short of breath for an hour or so. Stoned as hell. No wonder they don’t want bananas people on meds to do illicit drugs. It would be hard to sort from the licit ones. But hey… no bananas.
