Ah great, that's good!

..Hi Jellen.....

Hi JEllen

I hope you'll be feeling better today and with no dizziness at all.

Thanks so much for those two gorgeous paintings you emailed me. I know how talented you are, but every time I see someting you've painted, it blows me away.

Take care, hon, hope to talk soon!

Hi PC! Do drop by our regular thread too, my dear.

Hi All,
Tomorrow I go see my shrink and give him a rundown on the abilify. I think he will be happy it is going so well.

JEllen

Hope the appointment went well.
We will be waiting to hear

Hi JEllen! I will drop by our other thread as well, if not this evening before K arrives, tomorrow for sure.

I've REALLY missed you a lot this week, haven't had a chance to talk with you much at all.

I am really glad that the Abilify is working out so well for you!

Hi PC, yea, I've been missing talking to you too.

Hi everyone, here's the latest on the meds. I am doing fine. I saw my shrink yesterday, and he seemed happy with my progress on the Abilify, and said I could cut down even more on my Zyprexa, till I taper off completely. I am going to save a few tablets for the occasional manic blip. I explained that I was having some dizziness, but he said just stand up slowly when I get up. And I've found that if I eat something that helps too. I haven't been dizzy while driving at all, so that's good. Usually comes on when I have been on the computer too long, LOL.

I am still very much getting used to the new med. I feel more emotional on it, less numb. Which cuts both ways, it can be great, but it can be more painful - I found an old letter from a guy who dumped me, and it was like, "OW!" And I am hot now a lot of the time, which is so weird, because always before in my life I have been very cold all the time. I like to think the Abilify is correcting some glitch in my body temperature regulation. Also, the Abilify is making me have regular periods - before I only had a period every 4 or more months. The doctor comfirmed that the Abilify can do this, because it lowers the hormone prolactin.

Hi JEllen!

Hi JEllen

Thats great

*joins the chorus*
That's great news !

Hoping things continue to go well!

Well anyways, what you're doing is great ... monitoring your emotions and feelings, and the sensations and responses of your body like this. Puts you very much in touch with and in control of your mental and physical health.

Hi Pillowcase!

My sleep cycle is still sleep days awake nights - I was hoping that might change some. It's 5am here, and I've got church at 11am. *sigh* It's a weekly battle.

Oh darn , I know you were hoping your sleeping-wake cycles would change.

Hope you can stay awake in church Ellen!
