I did see my therapist on Friday, and she commiserated with me–told me I seemed depressed (duh!), and suggested that my medications aren’t really working the way they should. She said she would connect with my doctor prior to my appointment just to update him on how she perceives that I’m doing. I’m seriously thinking about going back on Parnate–really the only medication that has brought me out of having suicidal thoughts. I’m going to leave it up to my doctor, though. There’s got to be something that can help me, with all these new medications that I see commercials for–Pristique, Cymbalta, etc.
Discontinuing my use of Abilify has helped to decrease my appetite. I don’t feel like a slave to my stomach anymore.

Your doctor knows what is best for you. Keep your doctor updated about your condition so he/she can determine what drug is suitable for you. Don’t worry if you are experiencing the side effects of the drug. It is normal. Just keep taking your prescribed medication at a right time and correct dose. Yes, you can leave it up to your physician but also don’t forget to play your part.
