Yes, I take chromium because I'm hypoglycemic. (Stay away from the picolinate version though.) I've never heard of Gymnemna Sylvestre.> My weight affects my self-esteem a lot (I have some sort of "adonis complex" I think), which is kinda crazy because I am 6'2" and 180lbs. I am scared of gaining weight on Nardil w/o an increased appetite.
I hear you. That's one of my big fears in trying Nardil but I am encouraged that some people have been able to maintain or even lose weight while on it.
> I would work on this with my therapist, but the list of things to work on that are more important is kinda long right now given the meds now allow me to actually affect positive changes, heh. ;)
:-) Only you can judge what the priority is for you. I have a feeling that if you started gaining a significant amount of weight, the priorities might change.K
