You dont have to answer this of course for the sake of anonimity, but if you wish to email me and tell me if you are in NYC (where I was born and bred) you may do so at tuttoemortoperme@yahoo.com, or just tell me on the board.
I know that docs there are tough, just as life is.....But I think that Beth Israel may have some decent stuff going on. Of course I could be wrong.I do'nt go out much either.....
I am lucky in a way. My husband is a really understanding man and when my sadness passes, he can get me to socialize and smile..because that is a big part of who I really am.Is 200 mgs really a low dose?
Maybe you SHOULD get on a scale? It might not be so bad......Yet I did today so that I could find out that in the past 2 weeks I am still at the same happy 240 :( I have to admit that I have had my binges, but gimme a break!!!
have you had your thyroid checked?
I think my shrink's next crap shoot is with the thyroid. It is a bit below normal, and messing with it may do nothing, but you know how desperate I am.....those 100 extra pounds are breaking my heart and killing my confidence. I am, I have been told, a beautiful woman......"what a shame she doesn't lose some of that weight....she has such a beautiful face"
I too have been on topamax for a month. Just got up to the 200 mgs mark.
I think there has been talk of zonegram...maybe you should look into that. I think that is what it is called. If topamax doesn't do it, perhaps you might see a light from that.....I do wish you well.......
