As a serious question will anti depressants ( Wellbutrin ) adhd meds ( aderal ) and a migraine med ( topamax ) hider me from starting HRT I'm going to ask my doc when I see her but I wanted to know if anyone knew here before I went in with my hopes up

A competent doctor will not let them stand in the way. However there are some doctors who don't get the whole wired-to-be-a-woman thing and will give you some garbage about not being stable or healthy enough to transition.

Either way, insist you get the help you need.

Thank you Serena your right, things change and as I have found with voltage ( and most things in life for that ) we all ride a sin wave; there are the positives that makes everything light up like the sun and but inevitably u have a down swing but they don't last forever all you have to do is wait for the voltage to start to climb again.... Unless it's a square or saw tooth then ur screwed cuz those would have ->-bleeped-<-ty effects on life sudden drops ( and I know there are those out there who suffer through such depression states and down swings and do do not mean to belittle your struggle brothers and sisters ). He and I intend to stay friends and even roommates for a while ( neither one of use make enough to service on our own and I'm not low on the military pecking order either ) I know there is no way to truly turn lifes AC sin wave in a strong DC current but damn it with the help of others; even if you don't care for the person just a helping hand in general and be a be on of light in the sea of darkness. I know I come here for help a lot but if there is ever a way for me to help back never and I mean never hesitate to ask!
Ps luclly I live in a informed concent state!

So yeah not to bring politics into the forum but come on i can't believe some of the ->-bleeped-<- the republicans are spewing out! I really hope they don't get elected!

In the dark old days my sin waves had a pretty high crest factor with a PF of 70% on average. These days I'm feeling much better now with active PFC 

well i think my wave is in wa downward slop, i think i blew out my knee again. i just got it back to a functional running standard. defiantly not the 14 mile i was doing before my first injury but 45 min run 3-4 times a week wasnt bad. until today. mid run i felt a pop and a sharp pain, i was able to finish most of the run up to 30 min but wound up limping my cool down. my next thought is to not run for 2-3 months and just stretch and do yoga to try and get the damned thing to a flexible standard. my run will suffer but if i can run again ill take what i can get. what do you know that i can sub for my run in cardio. i mean i have tried biking and swimming, but biking is ass it works but i dont feel like in getting a real work out. and i cant swim i dont like changing in the male locker room let alone being half naked in a pool. i mean i could force myself but i would just feel uncomfortable. am i screwed my only options are biking and swimming isnt it.

also as a final question to work with that last one i dont want to build muscle but i have to maintain a certain amount of strength what can i do to help this. i dont want to lift weights and gain mass (cuz i will and fast) but if i down do something ill start to lose it and might fall out of military PRT standards. 

Women use a different work out routine, less weight and more repeats to maintain strength without building bulky muscles. Check out the differenced between the instructions for both men and women for each strength building activity you wish to do and change your routine.

i find out if i can start hrt this week

So my doctor said as far as she knows the only thing that can happen to me because the only thing she knows that is out there is that I would be paying out of pocket for the endocrinologist and the medications

so does anyone know of a good therapist on the Seattle area

update on that whole situation, turns out that tricare has been cracking down on out of pocket payments. they are cracking down hard, making it so i have no choice but to go threw my HMO ( making it so i have to inform even more people know about me. personally i dont care but as of right now we are not aloud to serve openly. i have the actual document that was issued but the secretary of defense to all armed forces. luckily my HMO ( a HM1 ) was more understanding then i thought he would be, and much cooler with me about it then anticipated. he asked my permission to talk to an officer then came back and said he was going to have me set up with psychiatrist who would, more or less set down with me and then send me to see and endocrinologist that works with tricare. ( this also is because im not looking to make a full transition while im in the service, im only looking to start HRT) now i just wait for a phone call and make an appointment with the psychologist!
