I'm feeling MUCH better now- I think it took a few days to clear
my system of the evil drug.
Now that I am clear- I want to ask my doctor his reason for prescribing it!~
I've been doing really well on my Wellbutrin/Ativan combo.
A few months ago, he added Abilify- again, a disaster.
Turned me into a mumbling zombie.
Sometimes I think they just feel they need to prescribe things
to justify the cost of the office visit...
I don't know.
Hope you are well, and thanks for weighing in.
