well, i've stopped taking a few drugs, like the st.john's wort, gingko biloba and phyto soya... the lyrica is now two (2) 50mg pills a day instead of 75mg and i'm on desipramine 25mg at bedtime now...

the weight has gone down some, like 10 lbs since i originally posted this thread, and i do have water weight, which is really annoying, it's possible that when i see my endo at the end of april, he'll give me something for it, because my legs and feet swell tremendously, i have elastic free socks and when my feet swell, you can see the tops of the socks on my ankles, though they don't cut the circulation (my socks don't, i mean)...

i was wondering if it was the montreal water

i know diuretics can help with the water weight, but they can also raise BS and lower blood pressure as well, since mine has basically gone back to normal since my cortizone shot, i'm not sure those pills would be a good idea, but my endo should know of something to help...

as well, my pulse has gone up and up since november as well... i didn't think it was going to be an issue for me, but maybe the weight gain and the pulse have something to do with each other...

thanx for the replies!
