[QUOTE="barneysmom, post: 403738, member: 1872"] sanity, welcome to the forum. It does sound like you have walked a long, rough road. You are in good company here. Haozi asked a good question -- hoarding, or hoarding and eating? As you probably know, Abilify can cause a raging appetite because of the side effect of metabolic syndrome, which could present as a sugar craving, but usually I think it's overt, uncontrollable overeating. Also, craving sugar could be the result of a dopamine imbalance -- neurotransmitter involved with mood -- in other words carb cravings. I've been known to dip my spoon in a can of frosting a couple times too many (usually in the middle of the night). Hoarding -- could be an Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) symptom or an anxiety symptom. What kind of specific issues did your husband's ex-wife deal with (also anyone in her family), or anyone in your husband's family (or your husband)? You've probably already considered these, so I'm sorry if I'm being presumptuous -- I'm just offering suggestions to think about, not publicly interrogating you about personal stuff :~) Tell us more about your step daughter. Sorry to hear she is so rough on your little ones. Jo [/QUOTE]
