Ann,
I had a similar experience with the weight. When I was first on it w/Tompomax, I lost some weight and life was wonderful, well, relatively speaking. After about month, the appetite suppression started wearing off and I was binge eating much more frequently. We tried to chase the initial lift by upping the dosage but it did not work. I eventually was up to 450mg a day and coming off was horrible. I wish you luck but it is not rare for a lot of SRRI's to have initial appetite suppresion that eventually wears off and often times increasese appetite with continued use.
