ER,
Thanks for the well wishes. Abilify, I'm 99% sure caused any rapid weight gain. It just does that. Some neuroscience savvy person once explained how it happened. I am 5'4" myself, and gained 20 pounds in two months when my abilify went to 5mgs and higher.
I am now trialing Lyrica, the more potent younger relation to neurontin. It isn't helping pain much, BUT it has helped my mood. Not that I'm near remission yet.
Have you tried it? I'm sorry to hear that you've been despairing your med situation, and glad you have, what seems to me, a good doc working with you.
Very best on your interview. Yes, and away with any personality surprises. Not necessary at all.
Personally, I'd love to hear an update sometime.
