Less Caffeine, More Exercise

The psychiatrist at county mental health is new. I've never seen him before.

He asks me how much coffee I'm drinking.

I explain that it's about six cups per day.

"I think you're getting the hang over effect from the Seroquel; that's why you're needing so much caffeine in the morning...You know what? Exercise is a stimulant...." He pauses. "I'm not asking you to get up at six and go out jogging." He smiles at me.

For some odd reason, I don't find him funny.

He then tells me to reduce my caffeine intake and to exercise more.

Afterwards when I told the LSU Professor about the doctor's recommendations, he looked at me and said, "We could all do that."
