Hi Brokenfriend,

Big hugs to you thank you for caring about my situation, you're right it's so wrong they did this to me like this, pretty much sending a letter to tell me I'd have to jump through hops to get back on abilify, which now I am not so sure I want to do. I was getting closer to the borderline of diabetes, which runs in the family anyway, so I was wondering if I shouldn't switch to something else anyway, but I had hoped to do it the RIGHT way by weaning OFF abilify not being forced to do a cold turkey withdrawel. I am doing okay but now I have an infected tooth, the broken one I wanted to try to wait til the free dental clinic to get repaired, now its too late and I have to have it pulled.

The seroquel is helping, finally feeling better, day two no need for imitrex so far this morning, which is encouraging since the pharmacists I spoke with about this said it was possible the withdrawel could continue with migraines for up to two weeks, and it did last one full week, so I am really relieved it's hopefully behind me now. The slight raciness I feel is something I can live with I think, I just have to be aware of how fast I talk and try to slow it down, I had some depression last week but that's understandable after the crappy circumstances I had to endure. THat's gone now too thankfully, and I feel much better.

THank you for caring Brokenfriend, I was going to bump up my old insurance bites thread but seeing this made me feel really good to know you and the others care like you do. I count on my friends here to understand the heacy burden of being Bipolar II and that understanding in turn helps me to deal with it. Hope all is well with you, I haven't been able to keep up with all the threads here with these darn headaches kicking my butt, so maybe I will do some catching up soon. Thanks for posting to me!
