Sorry if this is a repeat.<br /><br />As a rather heavy medication user myself, I'm actually relieved you're back on the respiridone, Katy. I too hate the side effects of these drugs, but I have to remind myself that living with the side effects is an improvement over being dead. <br /><br />And that's what I would be without them, no doubt about it. All you can really do is muck about with them until you maximise the beneficial effects while reducing the bad side effects as much as possible. <br /><br />The best thing, though, that I read in this blog is that you have such a great support network. There is nothing better to help one in one's recovery!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
