WE HAVE HAD SOME REALLY NICE WEATHER DAYS AND I HAVE BEEN OUTDOORS WORKING IN THE YARD. WHEN I AM AWAY FROM THE REFRIGERATOR IT HELPS TO CUT DOWN ON THE FOOD INTAKE. I HAVE TRIED TO HAVE AT LEAST A LITTLE SOMETHING IN THE MORNINGS TO GET MY METABOLISM WORKING. I LIKE A BANANNA THE BEST.

Advice & Tips

I am not taking the disc melt but I could not get the tablet to come up. I have used up to 15mg daily and still didn't feel any different. I just decided on May 1, 2013 to stop taking the Abilify to see if that is one of the medications that is making me so tired all of the time.

Cost

< $25 monthly
