Big boo-boo ~ erased my well-written(?) post! Now, what was I babbling on about?
Okay, Zenical and Alli, yes, see they are much alike, Jay.
Yes Phillipa I love cuddling too, but I love 'orgasms' because they 'unclog my brain'!
Seems Metformin is the preferred adjunct to the EPS of weight gain from atypicals and mood stabilizers at this time. Right?
I've written down clozapine (Seroquel) has the least EPS (extrapyramidal side effects), i.e. weight gain. And, second to it, is Quetiapine (Zyprexa).
Why have I written here something about Seroquel being buffered with Zyprexa??? :(
Will someone w/ a working brain tell me what I forgot and can't find now?
I'm not sleeping (I don't think so anyway.) and this is 'totally new' for me. It is the mid of night.
I was on Provigil for a couple months and think discontinuing it disrupted sleep rhythm. At same time I was getting a lot of non-supportive badput from those I love the most, my family. They wanted me to 'go away'. I said 'well where do you want me to go? Shall I just walk off into the sunset? Doesn't anyone want me anymore or love me anymore? Am I being 'outed'? Will I meet Mel Gibson and be saved?
RU guys over on the East coast awake yet?
I remain on 2mg Xanax 3x a day and no other psych med. I'm not doing well. ADs increase what is now just shallow 'ideation' so P wants to stay away from them. But, my PCP keeps pushing me to try Effexor-XR's pal. I'm in and out of bed all day. Yet, 'the actress in me' can walk out the door looking like I don't have an illness or problem in the world.(?) I've been practicing for a few decades!
I'd like to see a discussion of the issue of weight gain due to pysch meds continue here. I hope it will.
TAKE CARE ALL
