I’ve been up and down since my last post. Medication made me gain weight that I’m finding very hard to lose. I made it up to 156 in August, which is the highest I had ever been. I’m now 149.5. My doctor told me that I had to give my metabolism time to start working again, and that it could take a few months.
I’ve started the Couch to 5k and am now in the middle of Week 6. It’s definitely challenging. I started it to relieve stress, and it helps with that.

I’m off of all meds for the first time since 2006. I went off cold turkey (August 2009) and suffered greatly with hot flashes, memory loss, confusion, acne, and other things for at least two weeks.
Those symptoms have gone away, but I’m struggling to cope with my anxiety. I have good days and bad days, but the weight gain that prompted me to go off and the withdrawal symptoms make me not want to try anything else. I’m currently taking a multi B vitamin complex. I’m not sure if it’s working, but I’ll continue taking them for a while.
Meanwhile, I’ll have to be very aware of my moods and what I say to people. It’s as exhausting as I remember.
