I'm not familiar with the drugs that you are taking...but that doesn't mean anything. I don't know about that many of these drugs.
If you don't see any difference, before you try something else, why don't you just try St. John's Wort? Again, I acknowledge my ignorance here, but I like the idea of doing less rather than more.
My stomach is still not happy, and it's been so long now; and I'm having the opposite problem that you are. Yesterday and today I slept until 1:00 p.m. Not good at all. During the week I have to do a minimum amount of work for my business, but I also have a fair amount of homework for school as I'm taking three classes this quarter. It's been really tough to do as I started school at the same time that I decided to quit Effexor. Believe me, I didn't plan it this way. It was one of those God things. My Mom used to say: "People plan and God laughs."
No, I don't believe in forties' weight gain either. For cholesterol, you might try low sugar; almost no starches; healthy fats, i.e. salmon, avacado, veganese instead of mayonese, not butter or margerine, olive oil; not flour but corn tortillas. Some grains are okay as long as they are not processed, like white flour. It's just a suggestion, but I know it's kind of tough.
Have a great Sunday!!
