(lamictal has cognitive side effects at very high doses.)

>Hi Amy,
I haven't tried any of the drugs you mentioned. Do any cause weight gain? I'll keep them in mind.
I like the low dose of cymbalta that I'm on. In a month I've lost over 5lbs - everything else equal. I'm starting to go for long walks again and doing marginally better.
Not drinking for a month and ending my experiments with exotic herbs has helped too. I tried about every imaginable legal pot "substitute" this summer.
thanks,
verne
