Looks like Geodon is working very well for mood. And today is my second day without hunger pangs. I started feeling a little hungry for dinner, at normal time, you know, when your stomach is empty, and it continued for a couple of hours without getting out of control and making me anxious, until I could go to the restaurant with my son and my friend as we planned. I could not believe it: normal hunger, not out-of-control hunger. I ordered a big portion of meat and took half of it home because I was full. Again, pleasantly full. I am so happy.

Either that abnormal hunger just came and went for no rational reason, or, Topamax and increasing its dose started working. Time will tell. I will later try to decrease the dose.

For now, I have made myself a new signature, removing "treatment resistant". I am not listing Mounjaro and Topamax as they are not psychiatric or neurological rx.
