> You may notice a increase in diet, especially for carbs...... I have been able to fight the cravings and keep my weight the same for several months now. At first I overate like a pig because I wasn't use to gaining weight. I gained 20 pounds but then lost 15 when I came off Nardil and have been able to maintain it by not eating junk

> nickNick I've noticed the weight annoys you- much more than me. Have you considered using a medication for this. If so, let us know, I'll search on this. I know there is some you can use.
