I don't want to rush into it. I have been doing excellent for being only on klonopin. today of course I feel horrible getting back into working nights. like I'm feeling ***** the world and I want to cry all at the same time
but I don't know if it's just the shift. I have been FUNCTIONING well but I haven't been inspired excited over anything or actually in "joy" then I tell myself no one else walks around in joy all the time either. I want to feel alive again. I am craving hypo. I am looking for advice although this post is all over the place. I don't know if I should just try a low dose med or keep on the path I am. i would like him to just prescribe me a gallon of adderall and call it a day

 Lets start with what meds you tried in the past and side effects ... I have a couple side effects that I refuse to bend on.

ahedonia yes.
I can't tell if it's with any lethargy because the shift makes me tired it's not a severe thing like I have (we all have) had in the past where I'm drooling staring at a wall Christina sigh. that's the problem. no weight gain I can't have anything that makes me tired doing this shift I don't want to feel like a zombie nothing that increases anxiety but something good for depression you think I'm joking bout that adderall  too bad my addictive nature would probably take over and I would non-stop take them and be up for a week and then the REAL problems would begin

Can you tolerate any AD?
For the APs, weight-neutral meds are few.

Latuda? Rexulti?
Latuda I find sedating, but some people don't have sedation at all. Rexulti I just started. It's like Abilify pretty much. It'd keep you awake at night, if anything... so it's recommended to take in the morning. |

for AD my experience was mixed.
Prozac made me crazy manic wellbutrin made me suicidal with energy effextor made me more depressed that's about all I have had i was thinking latuda maybe. heard it's good for the low side and low weight gain profile

I took Invega before , I also can't tolerate weight gain anorexia (remission) here.
Honestly it was a drug I had zero side effects . It weight neutral. I didn't have the foggy thinking etc. One of the best meds for me in the past. It's the refined version of Risperdal which for me caused lactation lol , Invega didn't have that LOL

I did great on the abilifye shot like you were on. like really good. but I ended up with severe akathisia that didn't want to quit. otherwise I probably never would have went off it. that's when I started giving up on meds again

When I first started Latuda, it gave me an incredible lift.
Many people are reporting it as "weight neutral." I'd started to gain weight initially. (I'd started counting calories and have been losing anyway. Significantly.) It's marketed for Bipolar Depression, as well. It is one of the expensive ones. There's a manufacturer's coupon online. Even with the coupon, not everyone pays the same price. With my insurance and the coupon, I am paying $231.00/month this year. Some people pay less. WC |

Yes the weight gain sucks. gained 80lbs on lithium but lost 42 (FINALLY!!!) and no weight gain with Seroquel. Go figure. Just started on Depakote and all I want to do is eat. I'm trying to eat super healthy.
I am pro meds these days although they don't always ****ing seem to work. I hope you figure it out lady!

I think I might wait it out. it's probably the shift and not enough money to fly around the world which is all I really want to do.
I'm keeping meds on the table for when and if my functioning becomes effected. at least i I have some good suggestions. sorry I'm basically just talking out loud now i don't want to start up the med merry go round its situational. that makes sense right?
