Glad you appreciate the Eagles shirts. My grandchildren, on the picture, live in Michigan, and must learn the Eagle fight song soon. I had all my students learning it, and discussed the games every Monday.
My niece went to college in Dover, and lived there for a few years after graduation. She loved it down there. She got her undergrad at Wesley College. Don't know if you ever heard of it.
Did not mean to shame you about going off the meds without doctor supervision. It is just so dangerous to go off psych meds without a doctor's guidance, that's all. It is for your safety that I say that. I used to work in a psychiatric hospital part time, and I have been silly enough to taper off one of my meds without the doc's guidance, and it was not pretty.
If you are concerned about weight gain, discuss that with the doc. Some antidepressants cause it more than others. The doc would know which ones are more likely to cause it.
Good luck.

I recently (dec) went off of it to alleviate some co-pay drama - increasing on 90 days supply and am currently trying to find something that will work and NOT cause weight gain.
I went off of Lexapro an low and behold - droppped 20 lbs in about 1 month - I worked hard a it too somewhat but its like the barrier broke and I"m able to lose weight again..
All of this said just to let you know to watch - it may cause you to gain some weight. As your doc about those possibilities before just switching to Lexapro -
I may go back to it as I'm NOT dealing with things right now very well - been on new meds for 30 days now...doing a little better now but just not where i felt like I loved everything everyone and just about anything could cross my path and I was okay with life...............NOW......YOU ASK - DON'T GET IN MY WAY !! LOL
My anxiety level sucks !! HELP ! - Pease check out Dr. Connie Stapleton's Website. A lot of good information on there for all WLS patients regardless of the surgery you chose. Good luck to all and I'm here for you if you want to send me an email. I'll answer it as soon as possible.
- Total Lost: 139 lbs
- Current Weight: 263
- As of 11-10-13 I have had weight gain. Not happy about that.

I was an alcoholic in recovery, prior to my surgery, but relapsed and struggled for two years with that relapse.
There are many who transfer addictions, and alcohol is convenient.
If you have a problem with alcohol, check out the AA website at www.aa.org attend some AA meetings and start your recovery.

I am on Cymbalta, and it does nothing to my gut. Nor did Lexapro.
Good luck.
