I have had very good results with a couple of A/Ds over the past couple of years w/the exception of diminshed libido - but definitely stuck out a lot of taxing SEs. So even with the experience of sticking it out with several A/Ds over the past few years, I have to say I have been very encouraged by this message board given the G/I difficulties, massive headaches, weight gain, spacines, etc, on Lex. Into the 4th week and previously significant SEs are decreasing. It can be quite a challenge to find one that is a good fit. Good Luck!****
