Hi Meg,

I haven't "heard" from you since switching your meds so I was wondering how you were doing. I hope the new meds are working for you and there are not any major side effects.

Please let me know how you are!

Luv,
Peg

Well, risperdal is turning out to be just as bad if not worse than seroquel. I'm starving when I take it at night and wake up starving, too. Weight gain is just the ultimate worst for me. Then throughout the day I just feel fluish, headaches/sinus problems/dizzy/really naseous. It's making my body like jello. This morning I dropped my cereal carrying it to the table, then I dropped my meds and the dog almost got them- stupid stuff like that. Then the lamictal is making me lose a lot of hair so I don't know whether or not to continue with it. I'm just really discourged by all of this.

How is it going with the eating and exercising? I hope that things come together for you so that you don't have to be hospitalized. I really have no idea whether or not a tdoc has that much power although I assume they can do it if they believe you are harming yourself. I hope that you're eating a little more! It sounds like we have an opposite problem, although I can understand excessive exercise. Sometimes it just really makes you feel good and takes your mind off of everything. Hang in there!

Thanks for thinking of me, I'm sorry I haven't been very supportive for you or anyone else lately. I hope that everyone is doing well and has a good weekend!

Meg
