Thoughts on this?

She has gained almost 100 lbs in 2 years from her meds. We dont have junkfood in the house either. Very frusterating.

Btw, cogentin for tremors seems to worked well too for her appetite but both of these meds seem to loose their effect after a while. She is always hungery again! (sigh)

I take 2x 500mg at 6am then the same dose again at 7:00pm. Thankfully it's working. I hope your daughter finds something that will work for her too. I kept pushing the doc to keep trying. the feelings associated with weight gain from meds is extremely frustrating as you know from your daughters experience. Good luck with finding something that works for her. Thinking of you both. One Mom to another.
Thanks for this!
