OK. This is going to be a slightly different start to everyone else, as I haven't actually started taking Duromine yet. My story goes:
I have been on antidepressants many times over the past 4 years and the reason I take myself off of them all the time is the weight gain.
Again, this week, I am not dealing with the weight gain, which is worse this time around as I am the heaviest I have ever been in my life. I exercise and eat well but it doesn't want to come off. It's only 5kg but this has piled on in the last few months and on a shorty like me (157cm) it shows badly. The badder part of it is that other people are noticing too and I can't deal with any of this. It's certainly not helping my mental health at all. I saw my GP yesterday and he is going to give me Duromine in a couple of weeks after I have done a rapid taper off the ADs and my blood tests come back showing I have good liver function. So . . . in a couple of weeks I should be able to report on how i'm feeling on day 1. All I can say now is that I'm excited!!!!
