> ask your pdoc is maybe you can add metformin to your regimen to combat the possible weight gain, especially if it's happening and you don't even have an appetite.
>Is Metformin available in the U.S. Rina?
> i would also suggest keeping a mood chart because sometimes abilify can really dampen your mood, make you have very little emotional reactions-less talkative, reserved,inability to do things you could do before,almost complete inactivity.>
>This is how I've been feeling for a few months. It doesn't seem worse. It almost seems better.(?) Maybe because such a low dose (Abilify 2.5mg). I'd better get my 'scale' out and watch.
>i don't mean to scare you, i just want you to advocate your best treatment for you and stay informed. that's why it's a good idea to keep a journal and a mood chart.>
>Oh no. I know you're aren't meaning to scare me; and you aren't scaring me. Instead, I appreciate knowing what to look for and how to proceed w/ this med, especially w/o much access to pdoc.
