i also quit smoking about 2 months ago and wow, it really affected my weight. i did buy some new pants yesterday, and a shirt that hides my belly. So that helps, but really i need to exercise, i just hate exercising. and eating yummy foods make me me feel happy lol, especially chocolate haha. i will be at the doctor soon - might be a couple weeks, but it is what it is, and i pray, and there will be some happy medium.
My daughter 17 and bipolar takes geodon and trileptal with no weight gain probs, she won't take seroquel because of the weight gain.
thanks everyone  |
Glad to hear I didn't make you feel bad! I quit smoking last Dec., just started again. I have been sooo agitated about this weight, 30lbs.. I know someone else who takes geodon and didn't gain weight, maybe I will mention that to the Dr.. I have 7 children, totally understand those issues. Fortunately only one is at home now. One of my kids is an addict, my oldest, one is probably bipolar, the rest are ok for now, thank goodness! Take care
