I (20 f) am prediabetic and have PCOS. I’ve also been taking Zoloft for my anxiety and depression since I was 18. I got put on metformin, topiramate, and Vyvanse to help control my appetite, but all they do is cause worse stomach pain than I was already experiencing. Leaving me constantly having a sour feeling in my gut and nauseous like I’m on the verge of throwing up. I already have a complex medical history due to my disability and several other conditions so all these things combined (1/2)

Makes it feel like my body is working against me. I’m grateful I’m able to walk, talk, and function normally, which doctors didn’t expect me to be able to do, but it feels like I can’t catch a break. I’m always in some kind of pain, discomfort, or having to take some kind of medication. I probably sound whiny but I had to get this off my chest
