First - 16 year old girl ended up in my driveway last night - ended up spending the night. Says she's been taking meds for symptoms since she was nine. Now she takes ONLY Zoloft and Well Butrin - (Zoloft prescribed for picking at her skin.) To me, she physically appears like a sleepy kitten, blinking eyes slowly - but her eye's are DIALATED all day (though she takes morning doses) and she becomes teary and fearful when confronted. Other physical traits, eats loads of sugar on occasion, skinny & anemic looking. I am not her parent, but I had some of her behaviors when I was her age and I did not have an advocate and I just want her to do okay.
Just curious - do children of alcoholics often have specific disorders??? I mean, I resemble the sugar/anemic thing since I was about eight...and recall deep thoughts with depression since about that time too.
Secondly, I used Well Butrin to stop smoking (thank you Lord) but either IT (WB) or the NOT SMOKING has done something to my stomach. I weighed 122 a year ago. I now weigh 135+... I had terrible gas (very odorous) and mild to consistent constipation. Neither symptom has stopped since I stopped taking the Well Butrin.
Has anyone else experienced these symptoms from quitting smoking and HOW can I get back to my weight and fix my stomach problems.
