No, I haven't even cleared it with my doctor. It doesn't really matter now, as I am changing my eating habits, using high protein and meal replacement shakes, some Omega fatty acids, and slowly starting an exercise routine. See I am also on an atypical antipsychotic, and that plus past mood stabalizers *really* bumped my weight up to dangerous levels. At the time, I was too depressed and anxious to care about weight. After 12 or so years, though, I've found some helpful meds, and changing other parts of my lifestyle are much easier. I'll report back on any changes.
Thanks for your concern...
Sincerely,
Jay
