If anything could take her out it would be this. She’s healthy for her age though.

I was sick with anxiety again today, I had to take my PRN before I could even think about leaving the house. I decided in desperation to start the vraylar again…maybe if I snack on low calorie foods like carrots and other vegetables I won’t gain too much weight even if I get super hungry. I mean I wasn’t craving unhealthy foods like with other meds, just hungry way too often. I have to wonder if that particular effect will wear off after a few weeks. Zyprexa was not worth the wait, and the med that caused the massive weight gain in the first place messed with my hormones, that’s what made me binge on unhealthy food. Maybe I can control vraylar long enough to see possible benefits and adjust enough to maybe not be as hungry all the time.

I was up until 1am again last night though it didn’t bother me as much. I wasn’t frustrated. Just kind of hung out with my thoughts, which weren’t too dark. I did forget to pick up my prescription but I will go as soon as they open tomorrow seeing as it’s a holiday and they’ll probably close even sooner than normal.

So sorry to read that Covid is hitting. Same happened with Steve and the wedding. Knock on wood our vaccines is working. I hope your grandmother and Niece is going to be okay.

Maybe Vraylar will be a great fit for you. It’s ridiculous that psych meds cause such hell with hunger and weight gain. As if we don’t have enough problem

Here’s hoping the New Yeat brings you peace and wonderful things
