> you got that right ,,, nothing is worth the wt gain... never have i felt MORE depressed and ugly than being on this horrible stuff... I NEVER was over weight or flabby or puffy and all that stuff before!!! I went from a cute 107lbs and size5/7 clothes to 145lbs , size 12!!!! my whole life was at this 107lbs wt!! I didnt even weigh that much when i was 9months pregnant with either one of my kids ! and this wt gain i got was so fast and very puffy in my face, etc..it was totally NOT normal.... they need to totally ban this drug!
Sorry but it set me back for almost 3yrs not being able to dress in my clothes ,,,Musky
I'd only been taking it for four months, so I guess I was lucky. It sounds like a true horror to get off of if you've been on it for longer than that.

> Yeah, the nightmares and the night sweats--what an experience! But a little Benadryl really does seem to help. I also have very low dose xanax (.25 mg) on hand, and have had to take it in the middle of the night occasionally.
