> hey llurps,
>Nope- everyone calls me different things, which I find amusing lol
> hope u don't mind me calling u that. thanks for the info. yeah i will try experimenting during the beginning of the semester to find what works. red bull sounds good too! What do u take abilify for and what dosage are u on? I take it cuz i've been dx'd w/ skits. and do u notice that you're heartrate is a bit low also because of being on abilify?
>I took atypical AP's for about 2 years because of flashbacks and little hallucinations related to post-traumatic stress disorder. I took 5mg of abilify for about 3 mos, and 10mg for about 6 mos. It was BY FAR the best AP I've ever taken-- not fattening, not sedating (except for the first 2 hours). Only side-effect was that I was a big clumsy. oh well. Recently I discontinued abilify, because I haven't had PTSD stuff in a while. I took 3 weeks of 5mg and then quit altogether about 2 weeks ago. My mind has been busy- racing thoughts and stuff, but that is starting to dissipate.
> well i should be off to costco these upcoming days to stock up on some red bull u just mentioned. I've never tried red bull. hows the taste? for my kick i usually drink up costco lattes. them cheap stuff that still tastes quite good. on average i drink 2-3 a day and I calculated that it'll take like a 2 week paycheck to pay for what I drink in a year. If i count my starbucks purchases w/ that, omg i dunno how much more i'm spending. hmmm...I should invest in coffee...my own machine maybe???

>try out the redbull before your first class- it might make you feel too revved up. You don't want to feel panicked!
best wishes,
-Lllow heartrate- maybe a little bit, very occasional episodes, but nothing that was alarming. I rarely exercise, so...
