Revisit the "does the SI and weight gain have a connection" ? When a med was causing my anorexic self to gain weigh I flipped and increased my SI as my need to "control" was jacked up.

I think you have been so ramped up for so long and all summer you were all over the country and moving and planning etc .. You were use to being all wound super tight .. Then Zyprexa is introduced and it took you from 200mph to say a nice steady 45 .. Thats how it hits most people. Remember BipolarRn talking about how it worked for her ??? a few months down the road she was good to go and actually LOST weight that she had gained on Zyprexa and other meds. Maybe shoot her a PM ??

I know your hating on how your feeling right now, but I hope you just give it some more time, I would bet your mind and body could use a break from the frenzied state it has been in for a really long time..

As for the weight , Yes its an issue for most people , but with Anorexia on board its ramped up X a million.. That's why I advise you to rethink the possible connection of Si and weight gain.

I do not think your personalty is gone for good.. I think its just taking a break to adjust to the medication.

Anyway, thats just my thoughts about your current situation, since I have been there done that and bought the Tshirt no less !
