I'd hate to mess with stability.
Isn't there a medication you can take for the triglycerides? I used to take a drug for that particular component of cholesterol, though I can't recall the name right now.
How is your blood sugar? Triglycerides are somehow related aren't they?
I'm happy my diabetes doctor told me my occasional use of Risperdal was ok. He knows that anxiety drives my blood sugar up worse than Risperdal does. But I think they'll have to pry my prn risperdal from my clenched fists, no matter what it does. Emotional stability is just too important to me.
Maybe you should check with an endocrinologist before doing anything to upset the delicate balance. It might be hard to re-achieve it.
