Stress: Looks like you are on abilify, (aripiprazole) Depakote & lamictal. I only see anxiety, insomnia & headaches listed under conditions but clearly there must be more going on to be taking these medications. If medical work up is negative, could your significant levels be impacting your weight? It is worth looking into.Seeing a therapist cognitive behavioral therapy can be quite effective. Psych meds may be >.

Unrelated to discs: Sorry to hear of how things are going. The weight loss is definitely unrelated to your herniated discs. It is important to be compliant with any treatment recommendation from your doctors. Make sure they approve of your stopping all your medications. Make sure you are seeing all your doctors especially the doctor that placed you on depakote, Lamictal and abilify (aripiprazole). Hang in there, but see your doctor.
