im taking it upon myself (because i can) to conduct a little experiment with my meds...
i take three...wellbutrin, which ive been taking forever...like, really forever...
lamictal, which i really love and think i need...and
cymbalta, which really hasnt done me any wrongs really, and probably really has helped a lot...and it has helped my very minimal neuropathy in my hands....but...
im really sick of being overweight when i know i shouldnt be...when i started taking the ssri's is when i started gaining weight...well, mostly when i switched to celexa from prozac...and it just kept on going...school, ok, i can see putting on weight...first year of nursing? yep, i understand, but really...the amount ive gained is pretty immense for not changing my lifestyle and diet *that* much...actually, my diet is much better than it was years ago...so when i went from lexapro to cymbalta 10 lbs fell off without doing anything different...now im weaning off the cymbalta, i have not had any in four days now...i may take one today just because i have to work, and its probably a good idea...if i get too crazy, ill go back on, im just sick of no matter how much i work out, no matter how much or how little i eat...nothing changes...actually i dont even gain weight when i eat shitty, i stay in the same 4 lb range all. the. time.
so, so far, after about two weeks, im down 2 lbs from the bottom of the 4 lb range...*shrug* we shall see...i was reading back, and i cant believe that i complained when i went from a size 0-2, to a size 4...that i went from 125 lbs to 132...lol..oh to be 132lbs again, id pee!
