My depression is getting better, yay. My doctor took me off of zypexa which is a mood stabilizer, and since I’m already on 2 other mood stabilizers it really wasn’t necessary to have me on another. Zyprexa was causing me major weight gain and extreme lethargy. I’m glad to be off of it and I am hoping to get off of one of my other mood stabilizers, Depakote specifically. The shaking is still pretty bad, mainly in my left hand. I also just read that depakote has a side effect of hair loss which explains why I’ve had lots of my hair just falling out at whim. Anyway still no job, working on it.

oh man – the hair loss thing sucks. is there any way to prevent /combat that side effect?
i was on zyprexa for a time and it really didn’t do much for me at all, but we’re all so different it’s hard to know what will work.
