Thanks Zo. I have some Topomax, and will give it a whirl, as I am also seeing my doc this week. Just curious, what dose of Effexor are you on?I have heard many mixed reactions to the stimulants. I think it's just a matter of finding one that works for your metabolism and body. Right now, I am using one of the most basic stimulants, caffiene, in pill form, as I don't drink coffee, and very little caffiene containing beverages.
I recall reading a few posters on here mentioning reduced weight with Provigil. If the drug does your mind good, then stick with it, and see what happens. Best of luck...let us know how you make out...and thanks for replying!
