> I quit taking Toapamax and Zonegran over a month ago. I hardly lose any hair at all compared to the hanfulls that I was losing during the medication.Also I have only gained back about a pound of all the weight I had lost. Looking slim is a dream come true but at 50 the weight loss added years to my face, I used to look young for my age now eveyone says I look quite old and need to gain weight. I hardly recognize myself in the mirror. There is no happy medium with anything, I am convinced.
There never is a happy medium...
I think that is one of Murphy's laws...but look at this way, the weight loss may well have added years to your life...
that is the way I see it...
the pounds I gained on the meds that didn't work, are now almost all gone; I never want to return to the excessively thin person I once was, but I am much happier now that I am more comfortable with me...
I do get tired of people telling me I have to stop losing weight...
although I have not lost any in weeks...
and interestingly enough, it is often people who could most benefit from a little weight loss who tell me how worried they are that I am losing weight and think that I should see a doctor about it...
after all, I have to be sick or I couldn't lose weight, right????
arrgghhhh a pox upon them...kat
