Yikes. Know what you meanabout fear of chaning meds. it might not be a good time for you. My psy was so excited.... I am just so 'almost there' .... i've been through so many med changes ... they are all so frightening, destablilizign. And the weight gain. Sixty pounds!!! I probably have gained about 30 from he paxil and the trazadone. i am finallly starting to eat right and have energy /motivationto exercise. the postings i read avbaout insomnia, involuntary body movem;ents, etc. make me really frightened. I am sorry about your mom. Really doesn't sound like a good idea right now for you. I'll p robably give it a go. but at only 5 mgs a day AND keeping up my ativan. thinking abaout those beta blockers, the last thing I want is to worry about my heart as well

stay in touch> Boatsie- I don't have any news on abilify for you but I'm thinking about starting it too. It was recommended to me by a psychopharmacologist. I would be taking it to replace risperdal which made me gain 60 pounds and has really given me concentration problems. I too am afraid to start it as I recently tried to switch to geodon and had a really bad experience. My mom is dying of cancer right now and I don't know if it's really a good time to switch meds. I too noticed an marked increase in my nicotine use after I started thye combination of drugs I'm on right now (celexa and risperdal). I'll be very interested to hear what people say.
