Yay! .... I'm getting off Paxil and Abilify!  I've been exercising every day and feeling great ... but not manic.  The only problem is I keep gaining weight.
So I talked to the doc Friday and he agreed that I could dro Paxil and Abilify and continue with Wellbutrin.  I've already stopped Abilify
and I have to wait a week to stop Paxil ... switch to Prozac for one week to minimize the "brain shocks" from getting off Paxil .... then
I'm only on Wellbutrin and I can work on dropping about 25 pounds.  I'm excited .... maybe a little scared  (you know ... "what ifs") , but excited!

2nd day on prozac ... no more paxil or abiify.  Just 20 mg of prozac and 450mg of Wellbutrin.  I'm doing okay but feeling a little nervous.
I'm much sleepier than usual.  I'm going to the gym this afternoon.
