My question to all of you is, what is the cause of this extreme weight gain. I've gained 40lbs. What the heck. Lamictal is suppose to be weight neutral, Geodon kept me on the same weight before schizophrenia. Is it the Effexor or Lamictal?

Anybody have a clue?
meds affect everyone differently, also some med interactions can cause it i think. i would ask your pdoc

its hard for me to cope with pretty much everything right now. i am expecting my period soon, its 2 days late. it comes monthly but changes dates a lot. i suspect this is why i am so emotional, anxious, and depressed... i think my pms has gotten worse. every little thing seems so overwhelming and impossible. i still do them, well most of them. its just like climbing mountains all day.

My mom is bringing me to work where she works once or twice a week because I need something to motivate me. There's no funding yet but maybe I could earn a bit of extra money.

Pretty sure they won't stop the Concerta because I'm 10x worse without it.

Inpatient psychiatrist says there's some patients that only get one days worth every day

Now I feel sick too much coffee..

I do that a lot. I was actually doing really well and had stopped biting my nails completely and had really nice nails for about two weeks, then I went to play my guitar and couldn't stand the feeling of my nails hitting against the fretboard. So I bit them all off again. I have small hands so my fingers look stumpy when I bite them, and I bite them as low as humanly possible.

Newtus: what kind of storage and RAM do you have on your macbook air?

I like them but my brother got one with only something like 4GB RAM and 500GB HDD space. That's not very much for the price of them, kind of turned me off. This was a couple of years ago.
Thanks for this!

As long as it does the job I suppose, CD's are a dead format so I can understand the phasing out of the drive.

It's horrible, I've been avoiding any news that isn't National, there's not much going on in this country of late and any murders in the past while have been gangland killings which I don't give too much sympathy to. But International news is just hard to watch at the moment.

We have some national US news stations available here, like FOX and CNN etc etc. And I just can't watch it. So much gun violence, when the solution is just so damn simple, but no one listens.
