I haven't started metfomin yet but my family dr said if I gain weight on clozaril I can and he sounded sort of like "yeah, why haven't we done that before?" so I think we'll let me even if I don't gain. I'm hoping that the Seroquel weight will take a hike on its' own. I've read that it sometimes does after a month so, it will just slowly start to go away and since I've been on so much for so long I'm assuming I have a better chance of that happening. Weight gain wasn't a big problem for me until I went over 600 mg so hopefully once I'm off completely it will take care of itself. But if not I'm ready for the metformin; I can't stand my body. The shape is changing b/c of menopause and nothing fits right an everything just makes me look fatter. I can't find things I like in my size and I'm sick of it. My scale broke and I don't even know what I weight right now. I lost 15 lbs in the summer and it didn't even show b/c of my weight all settling in my belly which is apparently a menopause thing.
I'm sure I'll post if I do it but I'm equally sure I won't be allowed to do anything of the sort for quite a while.
