[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 158926, member: 1514"] See...whats really stupid is I lost a lot of weight about 5 years ago when I first went on topamax. Maybe its six years now...cant remember. Probably closer to six when I started losing. I started at about 320 and my lowest was 220. I may have been able to go lower if I had started therapy around then but the 200 mark was a roadblock in my mind. However, that is when I lost insurance, the public psychiatrists balked at my normal medications and put me on risperdal, zyprexa and lithium and all my progress was lost. I ballooned back up to near 300 in record time and now my old medications simply dont work the same anymore. I dont even have the will to attempt it. I dont. Not when I know that at anytime I can be stuck on medications that can reverse my attempts. I end up on prednisone from time to time too. I keep telling people I want weight neutral medications but the docs keep advocating the gastric bypass. Now that Im willing, insurance isnt. Oh well. [/QUOTE]
