Yeah, but not too bad. I mean, I am a skinny young man, with Nardil I get a pot belly, which is not too bad. But I would happily weigh 2 tonne and be on it! Also, you can exercise, lower dose, etc.

We do have very good living conditions here, and it really is beautiful. The prices of houses here I bet is much cheaper than US! Also, in Australia you are safe really to walk around anywhere any time of day...I just wish our government would change!

I like that!
> I know something has to do the trick - it's just figuring it all out without gaining back weight, which - in and of itself - is depressing!Yeah, it is a pain. But hang in there, you WILL find the right med for you...so many people only get partial responses because psychiatrists can be lazy, they don't take an active part in their treatment, they believe that's the best they can get and stay on a crappy drug. But those who seek, find.
> Thanks for your response! And so GLAD TO HEAR you are doing so well. I remember reading some of those stressful posts as you were switching meds. I think I was up late and you were up early a lot of those nights/days.
Not a problem. All those stressful times are past now, thank God. I am now stressing over my chemistry studies! I hope my posts have helped you in some way.

We are very relaxed here (except obsessive me!) - people just take it easy! You really have to check it out here!Take good care of yourself,
Ace.
