Hi Folks, haven't been here in a while... I've been seeing my doc bi-monthly. I have been on 200 mgs p.m. for 6 weeks and lost 10 lbs and now Doc wants to get me up to 200 mgs in the a.m. + 200 p.m. *whoa* So I balked a bit at the potential side effects parade and he gave me a script for 100 mgs [I am now armed w/those + 25 mgs too] and he told me "do what's comfortable w/ the goal in mind". So I started yesterday...and ate very little due to minimal appetite.
Here's the thing that cracks me up, and I asked him [I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing this].... There are lots of times when I am feeling really hungry ---nay, STARVING--- and I wander around the kitchen poking and looking and opening and closing cabinets and drawers looking at PLENTY of choices but ultimately (more times than not) choose NOTHING. He says if I was in a supermarket with ALL the choices availanle to me I would find something and probably binge on it.... I'm not sure about that. This medicine has made it hard for me to binge any more.
Anyone having any of these same reactions?
Prayers to all you w/friends & loved ones in the Service...I have a 19 yr. old nephew in the 101st Airborne over in Kuwait.
