Hi, I started taking Pancreatin because I read somewhere that it helped with inflamation and decreased appetite. I haven't found either to be the case and in this past week I have been exhausted. Sleeping excessively, overeating and not my usual evergy and not able to complete my usual, every day exercise routine. Under PDocs instructions, I've just increased the Topomax to 100 mg, so that might be it, the adjustment, but I just wanted to know if anyone knew anything about this supplement, enzyme, whatever and if it was ok to mix it with ADs. I know I could ask my PDoc, but frankly, I doubt if he'd know anything about it. I'm currently taking 40mg Prozac (am), 450 mg Wellbutrin (am), 100 mg Topomax(pm) and the following supplements, when I remember: fish oil(3 caps per day), b-50, Pancreatin (3 caps per day. Any help would greatly be appreciated. It's the first 70 degree day since last fall today and I'm too tired to go for my usual run. I'll try to take a walk. Oh, I'm overeating junk like mad.

My first reaction is to look at the Stupimax, errrr, Topomax. It is strongly associated with fatigue, but it tends to lead to weight loss, not gain.
If the pancreatin is causing a problem, it's a simple matter to stop taking it. You may even be sensitive to something in it (the enzymes are foreign proteins, as far as your body is concerned).
See what happens when you go off the pancreatin.
