Thanks for the advice; everyone. I appreciate it very much.

And yes, Blue,
I'm trying to give each drug a chance. I have been on Lithium and Lithobid since 1999; I think. Since I quit taking it about a month and a half ago I have noticed that I no longer have spells of blurred vision. My thoughts also seem to be clearer. I've also lost eleven pounds. I took Welbutrin for a brief time back in 1996; and had an adverse reaction to it. Of course that could be because I was inpatient at the time at a treatment facility trying to shake my addiction to Meth. I've been clean on Meth, thank you God!!!, since December of 1996; but I've been weary to retry Welbutrin since then. Maybe it's time for another chance.

Jenna,
As usual, your advice is good and well taken. I shouldn't care what I look like, or how much I weigh. I should only be concerned with my mental health; but at this point in my life I guess vanity is taking over a little bit too. I don't have a significant female in my life at this time; and I'd really like to do something about changing that. I guess I feel like noone is ever going to see the me on the inside, if all they see is a short, tubby guy on the outside. Weebles wobble, but they don't fall down; ya know?

Thanks again gang.
