My stomach hurts so bad and if I'm not laying down I feel like I'm going to puke. I go to see my pdoc today to discuss new meds I do not want to go.

They NEED to come up with some better meds, better tolerated meds. If people really cared about the mentally ill I think we would get more research money and better meds.
This stuff is hard to take, period. Some of it is pretty toxic.
