The zyprexa is long gone -- I had no idea that a person could crave carbs that way.
I don't exercise like I should. Latest excuse -- bum knee flared up. But doc gave me a shot of cortisone Friday - it is already feeling better, so I am starting walking again.
Main thing the topamax is for is all around mood stabilization, depression and anxiety. My pdoc is concerned we are going to trigger a mania (not that I have ever had a full blown one), so I am cutting back on Effexor. One other reason for the topamax is to lose weight.
KC is for Kansas City - tis my home, though I am on the Johnson County side, in the rich, fat cat suburbs - live in Prairie Village in very modest home. (With my debt, I will be in the very modest home built post WWII for life).
I have been seeing my therapist for two years now. We have made a lot of progress in that time. She also got me hooked up with a great group therapy back in December -- survivors of childhood trauma -- all women. There are seven of us. It is led by two other excellent therapist (one who subs as my therapist when mine is on vacation, since I usually don't do well skipping a week). I do feel fortunate. I had a good therapist before this, and dreaded moving. For a person who refuses to believe in a higher power -- this would be proof of one if I did believe!
Thanks for the impute, sar. I really appreciate it.
