I can't recall the dose - 200mg? - and also gained weight fast. I came off it because of the rapid weight gain and because it did me no good anyway.
I would like to point out that all the AAPs caused rapid weight gain and ON NONE OF THEM did I eat more. I was not hungry, I increased my exercise because I felt better on most, but I still put on a minimum of 2 pounds/week.
As for the weight just coming off, didn't happen. I had to diet severely to lose 45 of 55 that I gained.
> Im sure this issue has come up several times before. Ive put on at least 3 stone / 90kg. Ive been on it for over 2yrs now. At the beginning I was back and forth from 50mg to 100mg. Now I'm taking 250mg daily. I small dose for some im sure.
> But I really doubting that it does me any good at all. I see my pdoc late August. Seeing my GP today. I'm going suggest I drop the dose to 100mg. See what happens. I have a feeling not alot will happen.
