update for interested parties

So I had my follow up with the doctor yesterday. Last time I went, he added Abilify to my medicine regimen. I took it for a little over two weeks, and GOOD LAWD. The first few days it made me sleepy, so I started taking it at night, no problem. After about a week, it had the weirdest effect on me. I was totally jittery and like I had restless leg syndrome all over my entire body. I also couldn't concentrate on anything to get any work done at all. It sucked. Like, I felt like I could jump up a run a marathon. Or, perhaps a better description—if I ever want to learn to do the Irish river dance, Abilify is my weapon of choice. I felt like I could flail my legs around endlessly.

So I went to the doctor yesterday and told him. He took me off of Prozac and Abilify and said we're going to try Lexapro now. After just two days of no Abilify, I already feel better in that way. And I haven't had any of my spells for over a week, which is the goal. So we'll stay tuned for later updates.
