Thanks for the advice. I think I'm going to take a little from both of you.
1. I'll stay on the Nardil, because I can't afford to not have it work in the future. I've spent years tying different ADs but nothing came close. Adderall came in 2nd place and I was on it for almost 10 years (I'm only 28) but I started to develop too much of a tolerance and my 75mg/day dosage was getting too high to handle physically.
2. I have lost a lot of weight in the past so I know how to do it. It's just hard when your body fights you every step of the way. I asked my doctor about Metformin a while ago, but she didn't feel comfortable RXing it because she is not familiar with using it. But now that she sees how big I am maybe she will reconsider. I can try my family doc too.
I'll start tracking every calorie I eat. That is how I had success before.It's just really discouraging to read through all the articles on here about people failing when trying to lose weight on Nardil. But I wonder how many of those people actually tracked their calories, rather than "tried to eat a little less".
When I started Lyrica (150mg 2x /day) off label for social anxiety (switched from clonazepam due to tolerance issues), I experienced a few weeks of light hypomania and lost about 30lbs. I suspect it was water weight though.
I'm going to give this a try. Thanks for giving me some motivation this time :)
