There was something about the XL I just couldn't handle. I went back on the SR (still doing 100 mg in a.m. and another 100 mg at lunchtime) and don't have a problem.

> Hope this helps, God Bless You!I was wondering how is the lex/wb mix working for you? My doc currently has me on 10mgs of lex and 300mgs of wb. I just started this mix @ 2 1/2 weeks ago and haven't noticed anything better...Also, have you lost weight? The lex made me gain so much and lose sexual interest, I'm wondering will the wb help that even though I'm still on lex...If so, how long will it take????
