Same here. Lost some effectiveness, though not all. Most of the appetite suppressant wore off which sucked big time. Also developed gastroparesis, got sick all the time. Just stopped the byetta...
I also take 100 mg of Sertraline which will most likely be phased out in favor of Wellbutrin (she said Wellb and Topamax are a good combo?). Also, Klonopin for anxiety, just started that, but I can...
What have you experienced? I just titrated from 25 to 50 mg today after a week. I have a few bothersome side effects. The most irksome being the hungover feeling I have. Like my head is full of...
I was at 50 mg of Lamictal, got rashes, and was told that I could just stop it right away with no ill effects? Today was actually my last day. I started Topamax tonight. Yes, we are here. There are...
That's my problem too. :sad: I can't seem to stop at one bite. Or two. And then I just say screw it and eat the whole thing. Or two of them....
I think your icky and blah feeling could possibly go away and you may be experiencing withdrawal-like symptoms. I used to eat tons of crap and I do believe it's actually addictive. When I cut out the...
"Relax." Ugh, I hear that all the time too. If only it were that easy. People don't understand. But we have to understand that they are coming from a good place, good intentions. I think it's great...
Mine has lost some effectiveness. Plus the appetite suppressant wore off which is no fun at all....
Byetta caused me to lose weight on just 5 mg. I was 165 before I started and down to 140 by the time I was ready to up to 10 mg. It made me really really sick when starting both 5 and 10 mg. The...
I'm a 23 year old type 2 diabetic. I was diagnosed at 13 as Type 1 by mistake because I wasn't overweight or anything. For years I took insulin, gained a lot of weight, and had little control over my...
Is 50 mg going to be your final dose or are you titrating upwards? The doc told me to go back down to 50 for awhile and to try increasing back up more slowly. Blah, and I was almost up to a "working"...
I just got up to 100mg a week ago after gradually increasing the dose all these weeks. Yesterday I was itching some "bug bites" (what I thought were just bites) and got some symptoms of a urinary...
I rapid cycle like you described also. There is sometimes a trigger, like someone being annoying in the grocery store, or stubbing my toe, or something small and silly. Sometimes I just switch...
How unfair. To think that we suffer from some type of mood disorder/depression and gaining weight is not something to perk up your mood in the least bit. What does klonopin do? Is that weight...
Thank you for the replies. I am already diagnosed as bipolar. I have discussed all these things with past pdocs but was told to try meditation. It enraged me. So I'm transferring to a different pdoc...
Is it just that they increase appetite or do the meds actually change the way you metabolize food? Sometimes I feel as though no matter how little I eat or how well I eat, the weight doesn't...
I was recently diagnosed as bipolar about two months ago. I'm a 23 year old graduate student. I've been taking Zoloft 100 mg for years and just began Lamictal 100mg (gradually increased). So far that...
