Hi beepbeep~

I gained a lot of weight also. My face looked like a balloon. My doctor prescribed me something and I went back down to the weight I was. I was 159 now back I'm at 138. I don't want to lose anymore weight and I haven't. I wish you luck. It's hard. Maybe ask your doctor if you haven't already. I know mine works with me in any way she can. Even if it means switching my medication completely around. Maybe your doctor will sit down and talk to you about which one is causing the weight gain and see if there is an alternative. I wish you luck on this. Let me know if you talk to your doctor.
