I did try Abilify- back in January. It made me unable to stop moving- whatever that is called. Rare side effect. So opposite of a tranquilizer! It was like being manic in terms of "speed" but not really in terms of psychosis. Never been on geodone. They were talking about changing my meds but I said no not with me in school but now it seems school is being affected anyway. BF and I are in fights the last two days. Its hard to take me time when I have other responsibilities and I just don't always know when its okay to do just me rather than everything else. I end up feeling guilty or made to feel like an unmotivated person. That's what BF and I were fighting about- whether or not he can put up with me when I get this way- or worse. Anyway, not to type it all here, but we seem okay right now. But the last several days have been bad. Not to mention the itches! I did call the bipolar study people today and I'm pretty much set for that. That will be cool to be included in a study about bipolar and genes! Its going to be a couple 1/2 day sessions and then after that, just a survey every year. They pay $150 so that's pretty good for essentially one day.

I just called the psych. dr and left a message for the nurse to call me about my sudden depression and these dang itches! The person who answered said "You think you're having an allergic reaction to the medication?" Uh- no. I haven't changed meds at all in AGES or soap or laundry detergent.... grr. And yeah- in my throat. Anyway we'll see what happens. Thanks for "listening" and reply, Bizi.
