Gee, thanks. I'm a walking mental wreck? Why not work on the metformin, too, so I don't balloon any closer to 300 lbs.

What's really frustrating is she prescribed me something with a side effect of weight gain, knowing I was having trouble with my weight, after having lectured me about how it all boils down to eating less and exercising more (as if it's THAT easy), and then she prescribed me something that made me gain 30 lbs. in 3 months.
I am sorry. I think it is worth looking for another doctor. Was it a GP? Can you see an endocrinologist specialist?

I forgot to add to my post the obvious: yes, my thyroid is normal (thanks to Levoxyl).
