I've gained now 40 lbs this past yr in part due to meds but also my own attitude of giving up.
I'm not looking for a quick fix but a jump start so I asked my GP for help & she suggested Adipex.
Is anyone familiar w/ this drug & is it really what I'm looking for? My AD drugs make me so tired & I've tried to start an exercise regimen but it leads me to sleeping during the day bec I'm so worn out. Exercise, for some reason, makes me feel worse.
I'm scared to eat during the day so I don't. I'm good til 4-5pm. Then I start picking which makes me so grumpy & angry. Then my lovely internal voices turn on me & say it's no use anyway so just blow the day away which is usually what happens. It's a horrible cycle that's been going on for probably 2 yrs now. I'm thoroughly disgusted w/myself which leads to great self loathing & SI. I feel I must stop this cycle or I'll just blow up.
Please, any words, good or bad I'm interested in hearing. Thanks for your help.

My recommendation would to not starve during the day. Grazing is good as long as its not all cookies, sweet, "bready" things, etc.

It doesn't seem your meds are working. That is where I would start first if I were your pdoc (which I am so not a dr but its obvious your meds aren't helping your mood).

I imagine if this adipex drug does what you want it to, there is a possibility of you abusing it or refusing to stop taking it if it makes you lose more than what you want as a "start"

Start with your AD meds
