Oh, good thought, Barbara. I will see about his medications in relation to his weight. My FIL also takes meds for his blood pressure, atenolol and lisinopril and a few other related ones. I am finding it odd that he is taking Zoloft, buspirone, temazepam, depakote and lorazepam for his depression and agitation. Of course, I am only looking at his pharmacy bill so it is possible the depakote or one the others was dropped in favor of the new one, lorazepam. I did read up on this one after reading on this board about becoming addicted to it. Apparently, there are withdrawl problems when it is stopped so I will check on that as well with his doctor.

I thank God everyday that my parents, 85 and 93, still have their health and sound minds. I don't think I could go on this rollercoaster again.
