I love all your posts! Thanks for the humor, guys...it really helps. And I feel guilty that my doctor just blithely handed me $450 worth of Abilify, & I'm considering throwing it out.

The diet sounds fine for me for an MAOI...I don't eat or drink any of those things, normally.

By the way, my doctor's response was similar, after I burst into tears when he told me I needed Zyprexa. "KittenCat!" (ok, ok, I know). "I think we may be on to something here!! Try these pills...take 15 mg a day...it will stop your bipolar!" "But doctor, I'm not bipolar...I'm just really, really depressed...I don't think I'm psychotic...plus, I'm a ballerina & can barely get off the couch. I need to be a million pounds underweight...won't these make me gain weight??" "Well, just give 'em a go and see...then we'll go from there". Awesome. So when I'm fatter than ever & puking my guts out every day, in between my four hour medication induced naps, will that be enough to convince him I don't think this is right??

Bugger. Well, today is fourth day on 3.75mg Abilify. So far I don't feel abilified to do anything except sleep, but I have committed to one week. Or two. Not sure.

You guys are great! Thanks...
