So I started abillifiy about a week ago and it's starting to work..less freaking out and a surprise out of the new pill more social! I'm normally miss anti social so the fact I have talked with two of my neigbours for a few hours each day and msgsed a good friend is a huge social step for me! Other surprise is becoming proactive I want a cell so I can be more social ei Facebook and texting daily contact which I don't get right now as I really like little Internet access and no cell access... So i mntaking steps to being able to afford new cell and a house phone still for my bf to use if needed..I'm being proactive

    I've been on high dose prednisone for pneumonia, and now I am slowly weaning. But lots of symptoms I don't like having, plus overeating has put at least 10 lbs on me. The food is "loud" as the GLP-1 users refer to it.Also pressured speech. Which comes out in my posts. Sorry I posted so much. I just need an outlet for my agitated and irritable brain. Just scroll on by my posts, if they are too...
