Do you not think that a "normal" person when faced with this dilemma would automatically opt to continue taking the medication and just deal with the big stomach.
>>> Irene, there is no such thing as "normal"..
and no one can decide what is normal as a term that is meant to describe everyone ...
what is normal for me for instance, is not and should not be normal for you or anyone else on this board or on this planet...
I think we should take a vote or some such agreement and banish the word 'normal' from communications shared on this board...
anyone using it should be sent to the brig for ninety days on chocolate fudge brownies and water while the rest of lose weight and we will all laugh at the guilty party when s/he emerges with the extra weight...
no one is 'normal'...
each of us is unique and special...
you are unique and special and as my doctor says of me a challenge to be met and considered...
normal, pah!
I banish it...
so there...
See? I am back in control...there would be no eating problems if there were no body image problems... and if there were no barbies and no super models and and and...
however I am working on banishing them... give me time...in the mean time, you do have a self-image problem and you DO have an eating disorder. These are things with which we have to deal...
however, you do not have to accept the situation...
what you have to accept is that your life is precious...
you are precious... especially to this group here as well as to those people in your immediate circle, home, family and so on...
So this has to be worked out...Is there not another med that will deal with this problem? Sit down with your doctor and tell him or her how you feel; be open and honest about your fears and feelings...
there has to be something that will work on your feelings and not cause this weight gain...if we can do all the scientific wonders we have achieved, we have to be able to do this...
we have to be able to do it...

I have seen a lot of happy people that were a little overweight or did not have great figures. Better "happy" and big than wanting to die and small belly? Logic is telling me this is correct but my emotions are screaming no at me!
