From Gee Gee, Hi !
I am sorry to hear that you are having so much trouble with your medication.
Just my own opinion....., Do you think you could get your Doctor to put you
on another medication ?
There are several meds., that are out there that do not cause weight gain.
Maybe you could have a long talk with your Doctor...,
You asked, if you have to deal with medications causing your life to be
numb, and you will just have to deal with it sometimes..., ?
I wish I had the answer to your question.....,
I would strongly advise you to contact your BPDoctor, and tell him/her,
how you feel...., and maybe this would be the best source for your
question, and maybe you can get the answers you are looking for.
I hope you are feeling better soon...,
Take Care,
Gee Gee
