Ok guys! So I've lost 2 kilos, 4.4 pounds. BUT! This is in 6 weeks.

I'm a pre-sleever working through my food issues to get sleeved June 2013.

I've been struggling this month- extreme hunger at night, fatigue, cravings, pms with out the M!

So I see the head of the clinic today, I paid full fee for the pleasure, only to be told that the general doctor who had been treating me had prescribed endep (for my sciatica) in complete contraindication with my regular cymbalta. Not only has it been causing the severe fatigue, but it CAUSES weight GAIN!!! And hunger, and Water retention, dry mouth, emotional lability! So, in order to treat weight-related sciatica, the doctor gave me a pill that causes gain?! And a high dose of it to boot!!! Soooooo angry!!!!

I've been going crazy the last few weeks! I thought I just didn't have the willpower! Then I find out its not a question of willpower at all! It's a miracle I didn't GAIN weight, and that would have been very very bad!!!

Now I have to gradually come off the stuff so I don't get insomnia and all sorts of other side effects... And I thought the OxyContin had been bad!!! Bloody endep! Bloody doctors!!!!

So anyway, here's hoping all you folks on myfitnesspal will notice a marked improvement in my eating again over the next couple of weeks, and my friends and DH notice I'm less cranky!!!

To everyone on any medication: please get a second opinion, you never know if even the doctor you trust implicitly (as I did) can miss something big!!!

Peace!

I can relate to the frustration. I had a weedeater that wouldn't run right back in the spring. I worked on it myself, then paid good money to have it worked on by a pro, but it still wouldn't run right. Finally this big oak log accidentally fell on the weedeater.....3 times. The third time really put that weedeater out of my misery. I bought a new one and haven't looked back. My wife saw the whole thing and she says the weedeater was taunting the oak log, so it got what it deserved.
