Yes Suzy. I hate this weight gain thing with meds. I mean, come on, ya know.
I'm feeling better today than i have felt in a long long time. I'm hoping its this mix of meds i'm on. I only took 1/2 of the clonozapem earlier today instead of the whole thing and ended up being very anxious and irritated. So i took the other half and felt better.
On the 14th i got back to see my pdoc and he said he was going to up the abilify to 10mg 2x a day. He said this abilify wont make me tired, but i think he's wrong. Its' the only side effect so far i'm getting. No matter how many shots of espresso i drink, i still doze off for that hour in the evening.
I really hope you've found the right mix too with meds. It's got to be a great feeling when you do find it. Here's to the both of us. May we find the right combo and live happy.
((((Suzy)))))
