New meds, new me in From OD

It’s an interesting time.

The new medication has kicked in - Prestiq with a vraylar kicker. I’m not 100% on whether it’s the right mix. I was on cymbalta and my Genesight said my body chemistry wouldn’t respond well or at all to the cymbalta. It had been working for me, or so I thought. Doctor switched me and now I wonder if I’ve gone too far the other way. I’m MUCH less emotional (which is the goal???) but am I too numb? I have a follow up with him Monday, April 13 where maybe we tweak a bit more.

I’m also off Ozempic and on Mounjaro. I also had to go off of the Jardiance - I was getting daily yeast infections. I’ve now gained 7# in 2 months. I’ll be up to full dose on the Mounjaro in a few weeks. Anyone else have any feedback on Mounjaro and how long it took to lose weight? I expected some issue since I had to start at the beginning dose, but boo.

Still hanging 2-3x a week with UA. We are friends, nothing serious happening there.
Talked to JJ on the phone Sunday about an HR issue he was having that he wanted my opinion on. That was it. I’m ok, not weepy, not sad, no expectation. This medicine must really be working. LOL

I think I might have started menopause. No way to really know for sure. My thermostat is broken, although I feel cold most of the time. My moods swing, but not in the ways you might think. The weight gain? I feel like some things are just “off” and wondering if it’s new medicine or menopause. Of course no one effing knows so I just float in and out of the days.
