A martini is a terrible thing to waste.

My vitamin B shot.

Today I went to my primary care physician (remember when you used to say “my doctor”?) for a vitamin B shot.

A few friends of mine in NYC get them, and they have the energy of a rabid Jack Russel terrier,  so I thought about it for about 3 seconds and thought, I’m doing it.

Ever since I was a kid, I have taken a B complex vitamin.  I am not a huge breakfast person, so anytime I would take the vitamin without food, my stomach would get upset.  Although, in fairness, I was 14 years old, and I did have a lot on my mind what with the Cold War and all.  So it could have been that.

But anytime I did take the vitamin, I noticed that i had a lot of energy throughout the day.  I could pass notes faster in class.  My hacky sack skills were off the charts awesome.  And I remember feeling happier and less stressed.

So today I had my first vitamin B shot and I feel great.  The doctor told me I could either come in once a month, or I could go to a health food store and buy some “sub lingual” pills which dissolve under your tongue.  But I’d have to take them once a day, and considering that I have to set my iPhone alarm just to remember to brush my teeth, I feel a monthly shot might be the best choice.

I hope I continue to feel this great throughout the month.

    you can’t remember to take a pill that dissolves in your mouth in less than 30 seconds once a day? (P.S. the cherry ones taste great!)

    @Matt. You might be able to crush up some pills and then lace your marijuana with it. That might ensure you get your daily dosage.

    In addition to the shot, you ought to try adding a B-12 powder packet to any beverage and it will give you a boost of energy. The packet (vegetarian formula) contains B-complex, chromium and creatine. (1x daily)

    It also helps with the side effects of a hangover (not a cure by any means but it does help) and before a workout.
