I was doing well, but I begged them to take me off Zyprexa because I gained way too much weight on it. and now I'm all over the place. I'm so over this. Come on Latuda, do your job already.......

Hey Hideawaymommy91, please don't hide away :-)

I'm sorry you're feeling horrible… I hope Latuda works out for you. How long have you been taking it? Medication side effects can really be a bummer. Why do they have to make us gain weight … never lose weight :-P

I'm a soon-to-be-mama. Kinda wish pregnancy made me lose weight LOL. How many kids do you have?

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
