A,
Well, I would like to see you get on WB which is activating, AND up the Z some. But, that's just me. I don't have the chemical knowledge to support it, just personal experience.I take WB now, and do not fear it as I do Effexor. I also had great luck with Risperdal until the tremors set in. Then we tried Nortrip, and I was so nauseated all the time I couldn't do it.
So, I think a little WB (which may actually help with the weight gain...as in losing some), plus a little more Z could make a difference.
HOWEVER, most important of ALL...this needs to happen so that YOU, YOURSELF can feel better. Not to please someone else!! If your Mister can't take some weight gain and weigh (no pun intended) it against your whole being (body, mind, spirit)...well, that is very good information for YOU.
It's like having a dis-ease. "Well, I might be able to get better, but this or that med might cause weight gain; and then..." Pooh! If you had diabetes or heart trouble or something else, would it still be the same? If so...more good information for you.
Anyhow, I hope you do extra-special-great in dealing with all of this! This post is only me ranting, and nothing more.
xoxo
Shar
