[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 284708, member: 1233"] I didn't read all the responses, but I am SO HAPPY that this NP took things seriously and spent enough time with you to really SEE the situation. I think you should give the old doctor a rubber ducky because he is such a QUACK! Telling you there were results when there were none in the file should be criminal. You have spent years in pain and misery because this guy couldn't be bothered. (It is one of the reasons my primary care doctor is a woman! I see other docs who are guys, but she keeps tabs on everything and lets nothing slip through.) I hope they figure out what is going on and find a quick and affordable way to treat it. Remember the doctor can help you get the medications at little or no cost if needed. Topomax did wonders for me the first time I was on it. Helped with the headaches, depression, and weight problems. I had to go off of it because problems with not being able to say the word I was thinking of and also was very foggy-brained while on it. I was on welbutrin for a short while. It was combined with another medication and together they were a problem. So I stuck with the other medication and changed out the welbutrin. My aunt stopped smoking for almost six months while on welbutrin - it was harder than on chantix but it lasted longer. I took aldactone for a while (geez, what haven't they tried with me?) and it was great. It is potassium sparing so you don't have to worry about that as much. But I would still try to up the banana intake for a while. That is what the nutritionist had me do while I was on it. The aldactone should help some with the weight also. I am sending you a whole big basket of hugs to help you get through this. They will ease side effects and make you feel all warm and fuzzy any time you need one! (I will send the NP some too!)
