Saw the doc......he spent lots of time with me and listened. I do like him a lot but I may not like his answer. He is going to consult with a pdoc before deciding about the AP. Been on it for 5 years and my only side effect is weight gain....I know if I quit, just like I've quit all the other APs I'll lose weight with no effort and that will reverse the metabolic syndrome. But yeah it makes him nervous. The mental health system in this area is terrible and if I destabilize there's not much of a net. Sooo that really does give me pause.
