Hi
Sorry you are having a hard time. Maybe you should check out the withdrawal forum and see what others have experienced.
I'm sure you will lose the weight soon.

> to me and I really thought it wouldn't. My dr. said there are so many people online who exaggerate, etc. Well, let me tell you after 7 weeks on 60 mg (dr. had me as high as 90 mg at one point), I am SOOO glad to be off this.
> I felt like a zombie for the 7 weeks...Sleeping excessively, emotionally numb and became a total hermit. I didn't want to believe it about the weight gain but it is true. NOTHING fits me and it must be 10 lbs or more all around the mid-section- a place I don't usually gain weight.

> When do the withdrawal symptoms start and when does this weight come off? I work out 90 minutes every day and have all summer! Has this rx completely lowered my metabolism?
