Thanks Cyn. I had a feeling you'd be one of the first to reply. You're a good friend.

I take probably six or so pills a day. Baclofen, Gabaentin, Losartan, Mirapex, Trileptal, Levothyroxine. I take more than one of some of these so the daily total is more than six.

I hate that weight gain is so prevalent with anti depressants but if it fixes this feeling I'll take it. Right now I don't have much of an appetite. I've lost 20 or so pounds in the last 2 months. I needed to so it's not bad news. But I need to eat with all the medications I take. Plus with the PT I'm doing I need my strength.

I need to make an appointment with my neurologist so I'll ask him about an anti-depressant I can take. Maybe there's one that doesn't cause weight gain.

Thanks for your advice.
