Anything else you'd like to share? My real struggle at the moment is with medication that triggers false hunger signals and slows metabolism. Clozapine (clozaril). The weight gain is not the scariest side effect of the med; I take it for the hope of improvement from the world my mind has become trapped within. I have tried 13 other medications. I am considered disabled due to my illness as I have frequent hospital stays and there are days when it is a tremendous victory to have gotten out of bed and taken my medication. I am fully aware of the connection between the body, mind and spirit in health. I will not let this med change take away the work I have done. I refuse to give up and curl up in a corner somewhere to die of my illnesses. I will live and I will live well.
