What improvements did you get from the Abilify? Did you mention somewhere how you were before and after (functional scale or something similar)? Thanks
I have been taking Abilify 0,5 mg. since May 2021. I improved a lot in all aspects. I went from severe to moderate.
I no longer take Amisulpride because of weight gain, but now I could use some help with my mood.
What antidepressant that doesn't cause weight gain can I try? Fluoxetine?
SCALE
● Those with
mild ME/CFS may be working full or part time, but struggle to do so. Of necessity they may have stopped or curtailed all leisure and social pursuits.
● Those with
moderate ME/CFS are generally not able to work, probably don't leave the house much, have to perform domestic chores slowly with breaks and rests, and may need 1 or 2 hour's nap in the middle of day.
● Those with
severe ME/CFS are more-or-less fully housebound, and likely bedbound (or lying horizontal on a sofa) for much of the day. They are unable to leave the house except on rare occasions, and usually dependent on a wheelchair for mobility, except for very short walks within the home or garden. They find domestic chores like cooking or any form of housework very difficult or impossible.
● Those with
very severe ME/CFS will bedbound nearly 24 hours day, except for a few minutes each day to go to the bathroom. Dependent on help for all daily care. Often unable to tolerate any noise, and are generally extremely sensitive to light.
