Tranylcypromine
Today I had a dream about tranylcypromine.
I am in my old dormitory room way back in college. One of my roommates, Hot Shot Orthopedic Surgeon, is there, talking with me. Moments later, my other roommate, Angelic Princess, arrives with her dad carrying her things. Her dad approaches me and asks if I know the drug classification of tranylcypromine. In my matter-of-factly tone, I answer, “Yes, it’s an antibiotic.”
Well, my answer was definitely wrong. It’s not an antibiotic. Tranylcypromine is a MAO inhibitor. It is used as an antidepressant in the treatment of clinical depression, and mood and anxiety disorders.
Why did I dream of it? Could it be that I would be prescribed with this drug in the future? Or maybe I would be the one who would prescribe it in the future (because I’d already be a great doctor by then) to some Kpop fanatic gone nuts. Well, whatever. Maybe this dream is just one of those meaningless craps my mind generates when it’s bored? Do minds get bored? Anyway, it was a nice dream. Now, I won’t ever forget that tranylcypromine is a MAOi.
