[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 325922, member: 3444"] It might be the combo of the two drugs. FWIW, I would not worry about the weight gain right now. Stability is really the most important goal to focus on for her. You can address the other issues once things settle down. If it's really a huge issue, you can try to watch what kinds of foods she has access to, and make sure she gets enough exercise that she enjoys during the week. And try to help her be more aware of what she eats. Stress nutrition and not so much calories. Have her help pick out some high fiber, low cal healthy snacks that appeal to her. My difficult child 2 loves raw carrots and ranch. I know the ranch is fattening, but there are low-cal alternatives, and in reality, he's not getting that much by dipping his carrots. And the carrots are very filling so he stops eating sooner than he would if it were chips or cookies! Popcorn is another good "filler" food -- as long as you don't go crazy with butter! There are flavored toppings you get to can shake on it, too. Sliced apples are a great snack.... you get the idea. [/QUOTE]
