Thanks for reading my post Secretwhisper! I love my friend. But I don't plan to take her advice. Actually, I may not be continuing to take the Clonidine either. I've only been on it for a bit less than a week & I've gained 2 pounds. I'm pretty thin & so I could easily put on a few pounds & it wouldn't be a big deal. But, for some reason, I have allot of emotional energy tied up in my weight. If this medication is going to make me gain weight... even a little bit, it's outta here!

One thing that is coming up is that my wife is planning to retire at the end of the year. When she does, I'll no longer have the kind of time I have now to spend on the internet. So I'll have to make some decisions about where I'm going to put what time I do have.
