I noticed immediate appetite loss the second time around as well at 25mg and it has continued. I am back up to 125mg and I think I will stay here for awhile. I am still cold. My taste hasn't changed but I have found I can no longer drink anything but water because my body retains water like mad if I drink anything BUt water. I drank tea yesterday and a diet soda the day before and wasn't drinking as MUCH water with it and my fingers began to swell. I have had to take a diuretic to keep up with the water swelling. My BP hasn't gone up though. I went back on it initially because I gained back the 30lbs I lost after going off it. I also needed to be more even keeled, although I haven't noticed much of a behavior change this go round. Just the appetite and being cold most of the time. My feet and hands are really cold and usually they are so hot they are red. First day of spring and we get sleet! Gee that only makes sense because when it was winter we were having 84 degree days! :P Gotta love NC!
