Hi V.

I disagree with the previous poster who said to forget about weight until you are stabilized. I found that medications that gave me a weight gain tended to destabilize me because the weight gain upset me so much.

As for your plan of going off the effexor and keeping the welbutrin and concerta, you might want to add a mood stabilizer (neuronton, lamictal, etc.) But if I was in your shoes, I'd take the time to find a pdoc who knows my entire history and is willing to make joint decisions with me. I think having a good relationship with a pdoc is a good stabilizer, and then you can work from that. Maybe you can change the relationship with this pdoc by asking more questions, and volunteering more information about your history. Otherwise, I'd find myself a new doctor.

Just an opinion,

Shelli
