Hey Laila, of course you can ask me anything... the med that is making me gain is called Risperdone, but I take a bunch of other meds too.
here is a list... in the morning I take 6 pills, 1 calcium, 1 Luvox (for ocd and depression), 2 Lexapro (depression), 1 Multivitamin, and 1 acid reducer.
at night I take either 8 or 9 pills... 1 calcium, 1 luvox, 1 lamictal (mood stabalizer), 1 acid reducer, 2 hydroxyzine (anti anxiety and also a sedative), 1 verapamil (migraines), loestrin (birth control), and sometimes Lunesta to help sleep... OH and the problem medication at night Risperdone. so thats 9 or 10 at night
Just went to the psychiatrist today, she added another medication, topomax it is supposed to counteract the risperdones weight gain effect. but im only on a small dose... I am not sure how long to give it till it starts working, i cant start it till tomorrow. thankfully my psych is working well with me... i see her in 3 weeks... i hope to gosh i dont gain anymore weight
today i was 194
BLAH

Hey honey. What mg topomax did she give you? It's good to counteract it, but it would need a high dose w the med you're on.
she gave me 25 mg... she told me the lower dose would be better (I dont but she is the psych)
I'm on 400mgs daily and can hardly eat.25 against a med that makes you eat is like nothing.
