thank you all for your kind posts. I saw a dietician about 8 months ago. I was successful dieting this summer, but then I changed meds, and my resolve weakened. hence more poundage.
I feel that it's time for a shake-up in the meds I'm taking. T agrees & thinks that I'm overmedicated for someone who is so functional. I have a stressful job and am also doing some coursework right now.
Zydis is an oral form of zyprexa that is thought to be absorbed through the mouth membranes and bypasses the stomach. This mode of abosorption is associated with less weight gain (4lbs vs 16lbs in one study)
lamictal is weight neutral, I'm not sure if it's doing anything for me?
abilfy is potential for weight increase. who knows?
why does my cat have 2 white whiskers on one side and only one on the other side.
some things will always remain a mystery.
I'd be happy using zyprexa prn for antipsychotic, and go off of the abilify. perhaps lower my dose of zoloft to 25mg. I tend to respond well to AD.
what do you think?
