Thanks everyone Unfortunately there is no way of changing the med any time soon, I have two very stressful months ahead of me and I don't want to risk stability...

Moose - I might consider lithium after that, if I see this not getting any better. How different did you find it?

Jaded - I will try the protein shake before going to bed instead. Or teach myself it's ok to feel starved?! During the day it's easier in a way, but at night...I'm so glad the dress I got for my sister's wedding is slightly big..By June it will be well-fitted..Let us hope not too small..!
