I was supposed to work tonight waiting tables and could find no one to work for me but there was no way I can work right now. My sister in law works there and at first said no so I begged. I don't want her to know what is going on so I was vague- she just knows it's some kind of emergency.

I was on a small dose, and gained a small amount. I was bothered by the weight gain, but felt good on the medication mostly. The thing about the weight gain is that it was low and slow...so it is something that (had I been good about watching my intake) I could have changed. It was in no way like some of the antipsychotics that slap weight on hard and fast. **if** you experience weight gain, you will notice it slowly and hopefully be able to adjust your lifestyle accordingly so that you can feel good about yourself, too.
