not happy about the risks for diabetes....

I think they said it could be used as an add on if your antidepressant was not working.... kind of like adding on abilify.....strictly for depression.... but lots of people take it to sleep at night.
That is my concern too. De developed diabetes from it. That was when she had the bite that infected and turned into a flesh eating virus. The doctor knew she had a high blood sugar reading and said he was not concerned. By the time she was admited for the infection her sugar was over 500.

She was on insulin a month after they stopped it, I guess the infection kept the reading high too.

If on this med, I think a weekly blood sugar should be done and watch for symptoms.
I would tell the doctor she always had a drink in her hand and two nearby, no matter where we went. She would also hit every water fountain.
Feel better

I gave up on the sleep phobic, three of us here have a plan for one to be awake while the other sleeps, that at least gives me 5 hrs in a row sleep;
