No on the St. John's Wart.

So, I talked to my doctor this morning and she told me not to take St. John's Wart. Since I am feeling good on the lower dose of Zoloft, I am not going to worry about anything for now. We'll just have to hope that I continue to do well.

Doing good so far!

So, it's Sunday and so far, I am doing great! I'm going to call my Dr. tomorrow to ask if I can take St. John's Wart with Zoloft. I want to have it around just in case my moods start dropping. I would just really like to get off these meds completely.

I haven't weighed myself for about a week, but I will report back when I do.

On my way

I've started this blog to document my weight loss. So, as of March 23rd, 2001, my doctor has decided to wean me off my meds (100mg Zoloft and 2.5mg Abilify). I have gained a total of 48 lbs on antidepressants and antipsychotics and according to weight charts, I am 30 lbs overweight! So, my goal is to lose 30 lbs. Currently, I am at 173 lbs and I would like to be 145 lbs at the most.

My plan is to use loseit.com to track my calories and my exercise. I am expecting the weight to drop off since I am discontinuing the meds that have caused me to gain so much weight.
