I understand.
And you aren't pitiful! You are struggling and fighting. There is nothing pitiful about that!
I know lying is wrong, but sometimes the system leaves us so desperate and with no other choice.
I don't think I would do it unless it was a med that was making a world of difference.Klonopin is weight neutral. They have weight gain as a side effect but I don't know anyone who has gained on it (including myself).
Good luck! And remember, you are strong. :-)
Hugs, Maxime

> I truly am not getting down on your case. I'm touched that you were thinking of ways to try and help me with this miserable situation. But not only can't *I* lie about meds that I haven't tried, but I wouldn't even think of asking my doctor to lie for me as well. We're supposed to be working as a team, and not a team like Bonnie and Clyde! Lol.

I had it long enough to get me down to a proper weight for my height (and maybe that was all that G*d's intention was), and since I'm also staying away from the Remeron....well, even though I'm middle-aged (good golly, when did THAT happen?!?)...I'm hoping I can learn some new ways of eating and exercising.
