Trade-offs part II
On the plus side, I’ve been on half dose of the Zoloft for 2 weeks and the Geodon for 1 week, and I’ve lost 2 lbs. My appetite is gone, so losing the rest of the weight should be pretty easy. On the negative, the anxiety is back. Bad. I’m taking Ativan to cope, but that’s not a long-term solution. Unfortunately, Zoloft was the long-term solution.
On the positive side, halving the Geodon cut my pre-insurance drug bill by 1/3, a very significant amount. I think I can sustain on this level no problem. On the negative side, I’m not sleeping again.
There’s got to be a balance in here somewhere, if only I can find it. I shouldn’t have to choose between hating my chaotic mind and hating my body.

About me
I'm a midlife college student pursuing the BA I fell short of 25 years ago. I'm also a geek by trade as well as by inclination, and write novels that thus far have not led to New York beating down my door. Still I persist, believing that life is too short to give up on dreams.
