I don't post here often, I'm too busy, but life has been great the past couple of months. I've been stable and better than that, happy! Finally. I think the up in dosage of Abilify and Prozac has helped.
I haven't taken naps or just layed around in months. I'm usually on the go and I think life is great.
What a change from what I have been through.
My husband heard a song today, and he said the first time he heard it was when I was in the mental hospital. Boy, have I come a long way.
I got away from a quack pdoc who just wanted me fat and sedated and found someone to listen to me.
I now take Topamax which helped me to lose 90 pounds. Yeah! No longer fat.
Just wanted to post that good things can happen and meds do work when you find the right ones, even though it can take a while.
Thanks for this!
