Also I emailed my T kind of a long email and I wish he would respond (even though he doesn't usually respond to non-urgent emails during the week).

I gave him the votive and the stuff I had written down while I was crying this morning. He seemed to like it. He said I'd made his day. I guess it was good I shared.

I'm having increased anxiety symptoms from decreasing my Abilify from 10 mg to 5 mg. Shaking and crying and agitation. My T says those are withdrawal symptoms and might go away given more time. I am skeptical because it's been a month since I instituted the dose decrease. I'm inclined to believe it's my anxiety returning, rather than temporary side effects.
Tl;dr I'm struggling a bit lately. __________________ "I would rather have questions that can't be answered than answers which can't be questioned." --Richard Feynman |

Hugs...why did you decide to reduce the Abilify? Could you maybe try to go back up to 10? Or are there other side effects that are an issue? |

We put my H's old one in our D's room (she's 8). She's been playing with it lately, along with a drum. We switched one of her camps for later this summer to a music camp, because she seems into it. |

I come from a very musical family but I am the least musical person in it. I am just happy that both Ds have the talent. Hope your D enjoys her music camp. We don't things like that over here.

At a poetry reading downtown. Makes me think of our couch poets! Anyone feeling like sharing more of their work?

I'm very conflicted about bariatric surgery because I feel it's mutilation that we'll look back on with horror in 100 years, like women who used to have their lowest ribs removed so they could have a smaller waist. But I'm 120 lbs overweight and have been for 25 years. I've been able to get down to "only" 95 lbs overweight but I haven't been able to get below that. Anyway, I'm dieting now and getting results but I'm not that optimistic in the long term. And there aren't any other treatments that have a chance of working with such a large weight loss needed. So I'm conflicted, but going ahead with it safe in the knowledge that I can decide not to go forward with the surgery 12 months from now. Tl;dr: I could go back on the Abilify if the symptoms get too bad but my bariatric surgeon won't like it. __________________ "I would rather have questions that can't be answered than answers which can't be questioned." --Richard Feynman |

That makes total sense MP. Is there some other weight-neutral med that could help you maybe? I feel like bariatric surgery is for health rather than vanity, so it's completely different than the rib thing. And you've tried other things. So no shame in getting the surgery. Hope it works out for you.

I myself didn't gain any weight from starting Abilify--I kept an eye on my weight and blood sugar levels when I started it because I didn't want to develop diabetes, which happens for some people. So maybe I'll be able to go back up to 10 mg after I speak to the bariatric surgeon. Yes, it's definitely for health reasons so maybe that's not a good comparison after all.
