John, (I assume that's your name, sorry if it's not)

Thanks for responding! I gained 55 lbs on the Zy. I started Topamax which helped a bit to lose weight, then a dear friend set up a diet (lots of skinless white meat chicken) for me and put me on an exercise program schedule. I'm just a few pounds from having lost it all. I haven't had the food cravings for quite awhile, but when I did, it was always for carbohydrates. Was it like that for you? I'm glad to hear that the Ab is a good med. The Zy turned my life around literally overnight, and I hate to lose it. I hope this new med will keep me in balance. Or at least as in balance as I ever get.

Thanks again for your response! I'll let you know how the new med works out. I start it tonight...

Greg
