    • About Me

      I am pretty much an open book, if you ask me a question, 99% of the time I will answer it sincerely and honestly to the best of my ability. I found this site and was instantly relieved to find others who share similar experiences to mine. I am here to bless and be blessed. I am here to gain strength when I am weak, and to reach out my hand to those who are sinking. If you want to know about me personally, please ask or visit: my myspace page.

      No mood stabilizing benefit. Weird thoughts and "disconnected" feeling during the day, bad dreams at night. Tokk for about 6 months.
      Geodon Not Working
      Turned me into a zombie. No mood stabilizing benefits. Took it for about 3 months.
      Lamictal Not Working
      Turned me into a zombie. Very small stabilizing benefit at high doses, but slept all day (even at work). Took it for about 2 years.

      Works for my ADHD but does not help relieve symptoms of FM
      Aqua Therapy Somewhat Helpful
