My Pdoc called back asking about my weight loss. I let him know how my GP felt about using a psychotropic drug considering my terrible reactions to meds. My Pdoc came up the idea of using Periactin. He said it is an anahistimine that can cause weight gain but knowing my situation, he really wanted to use the Zyprexa to calm the stress & cause weight gain at the same time. He feels that I am probably snowballing between losing weight, stress, losing more weight, more stress.......... He only wants me to be on it for short term. I still have the problem of that I really don't want to GAIN weight. He wanted me to talk with my GP before starting on a med since he wasn't happy about my taking the Zyprexa. He also told me to give my GP his name & phone # so he could talk to him about what is going on. (Geeze, think they are wanting to gang up on me even though I know it is probably for my best interest) There are actually so many things involved with my weight loss & I am so anti meds that I feel nothing will actually help (but then when you approach it with a negative attitude nothing usually work anyway...at least that is what I have observed in the past). I have usually been labled as uncooperative...guess that lable continues.
