How can I keep from getting fat and losing my hair if I go up to 600mg?

for fat, i have posted somewhere i think that is an osmolytic effects and make sure you drink lots of water so you don't 'eat because of thirst' (or drink a bunch of soda)

for hair, i dunno. from what i can tell, low doses are good for hair (i have male patter hair loss and i also read lots of studies on that.)

i am not sure mid level doses are useful for mania, but either a low dose like 200mg or just add a low doses of an old fashioned neuroleptic like haliperidol, which avoids risk of increasing pro-manic effects of geodon before you get high enough for the anti-manic effects to kick in

Better living through chemistry, socialism, and big phallic rockets (with a side of roquette)
