My hrs at Petsmart where I've worked for over 5 yrs have been cut down to nothing, and I need more work. I have an Associates degree in Liberal studies (I was going for a BSW in Social Work but had drop halfway through Sr. year b/c of bipolar & substance abuse issues). Basically when I'm searching for a job what should I type in for Monster.com besides sales and retail? Please help

I already have male pattern baldness but the Synthroid (for hypothyroidism) seems to make me shed hair like a dog!

Does it slow down your metabolism too? I gained 40 lbs in the last two years from anti-psychotic drugs (Abilify and Risperdal). The Risperdal was the worst, as it gave me the munchies for simple carbs for the first two months.The carb cravings have sub-sided, yet I'm now struggling to lose weight (5'4" 175lb male). I've been on Weight Watchers since January and I work out at least 3x a week, yet the weight won't budge. I'm on 2mg at night to prevent mixed episodes of Bipolar Disorder. Please help I'm frustrated.

I was Rxed Adderall 4 5 years 4 ADHD, but in the last year both my inpatient psychiatrist( I was hospitalized 4x in the last 2 years) and my new out patient psychiatrist decided

to take me off it b/c of my Bipolar Disorder. My new doc will not Rx any type of psycho-stimulants to help me with the ADHD b/c it's malpractice. I'm dependent on stimulants like Adderall and Focalin to stay motivated and get focused, besides they give me lots of energy.There is euphoric sense of motivation from the dopa-mine release that's very addicting. I still have some 5mg pills left and occasionally take 10mg a day to get through work, a workout, or anytime I'm lethargic and listless. I'm might be going back to school next spring, so I'm going to have to learn how to function w/o the amphetamines. Does anyone have a similar story or any advice?
