Some times I feel it’s a boon.

Because it just scrap through positive and negative by staying neutral.

Plus I am deciding stuff at work better.

But still I make up stories about the job.

The thing is I don’t respond to false evidence.The stories are made and still I don’t react heavily. But some decisions at that perticular time could go wrong and I don’t realise

I have all those apart from the mild heart attack

There are some studies which tested which anti-psychotic causes the most weight gain, along with other metabolic changes.

I am not a medical person, and don’t really understand the chart nor the paper but but they are ordered by the extent to which the effect weight with the most in red at the bottom.

I adore my ap med, generic prolixin, fluphenazine…works wonders for sure…no sexual side effects…I may be paying for my irregular heart beat (getting better and almost non existent with heart meds), because of it but now that I’ve been on it over ten years the pdoc just said I don’t have to fear tardive dyskenisia.
