[QUOTE="leahkian, post: 1634191, member: 32193"] Yes you have a right to ask the doctor about other medications or even look on the internet to see what the choices are. If there is a doctor who you get on with see them and explain what is happening and how you feel about it, i was put on a tablet for pain and put on over 20 kg in no time. My consultant took me off it and the GP's got me on to the Well Being plan which they give you a exercise plan which you can do in the house only using a chair and help you make changes to your diet. My problem was i was not eating enough so what i did eat made my weight go up, i was lucky as the person who i got used to be a personal trainer and he helped me go from 107 kg down to about 90 kg. So they are a few things that you can try and be frank with the doctor as just increasing the dose is not working for you. [/QUOTE]
