The PA is gonna put me on some new  "head meds"(Lamictal) I pick up the script tomorrow when I go for the blood test. This one isn't suppose to have any weight gain side effect....Maybe I won't be a ravin crazy lady pretty  soon....

That is good news Ree.

Not to belittle what you are going through but back when I had my stroke I weighed under 100 lbs (I'm 5'7"). I was underweight because of my auto immune disease. They prescribed prednisone (60 mg). I'm not kidding when I say I gained over 40 lbs in three months. I woke up everyday and could literally see myself gaining weight, especially in my face ( I had what they call a moon face from steroids).   

As I'm sure you are aware I am very vain.  The weight gain only added to my depression. I can remember calling my mom on the phone crying, telling her I couldn't stop eating.....as I was stuffing my face with potato chips.

YAY!  It is such a great thing that the evil pharmacutical companies have come up with ways to treat all kinds of nasty shit we would have to just live with decades ago! :cheersmate:
