I don’t really want to go off the Adderall. It’s genuinely helping me not go beserk and stay on track during the day and do things like my DBT homework and read and write and not just pace aimlessly yelling at myself for 10 hours straight trying to figure out if the thing I have to do is Tuesday or Thursday because i accidentally threw out the paper I wrote it down on. I had no appetite before it either anyway. I think it’s more the topamax (they put me on it for migraines, to make Adderall more effective, because they thought it would make me not binge on Zyprexa (nope, the one time I did take the o-fat-zapine dose I did b/p) and impulsivity/mood stabilization, and it wrecked my appetite last time I was on it too).
Maybe ask to go off the topomax just for the time being. Could be the Adderall would help with Zyprexa weight gain and no need for the topomax. And you need to gain some anyway, could always get off the Zyprexa then. You need to start eating regular meals and snacks to get to a healthier weight. I am thinking too the less you eat at all, the worse the gallbladder issue will get at helping to digest ANY food.
