This morning was my 6 month check up with my doctor. I was switched to Wellbutrin to help with depression. I had been on paxil but quit taking it on my own because of the weight gain. Wellbutrin is supposed to not have the weight gain side effect. We'll see. I would really like to feel better about life in general. The heart palpitations are still ok if I can tolerate them. The next step is a beta blocker which he says will slow down my metabolism...we don't want that, so I'll tolerate them. I had gained 5 lbs since my appointment 6 months ago. I just don't understand...cut out most fast food, stop caffine completely and cut back on everything...and still gain. I know more exercise may make things better, but sticking with it when I see no improvement is difficult. The next appointment is in October and they will do blood work then...fun fun.
