Interesting. I haven't gained any weight even with the increased food intake. I read where it can increase your metabolism, so it increases your appetite too.

I'm feeling really, really good, even though I'm not sleeping all that well. (One of the dogs likes to sleep on top of the covers and pin me down. No matter how many times I make her go on the floor, she comes right back up). I have to wonder how much of the feel good-ness is med related and how much of it is finally being in a happy relationship.

The doctor has me on what I think is a strange dosing regimen. I'm on 200 mg of the sustained release form, but she told me I could take both tabs at once. I've been spacing them about 6-7 hours apart instead. I take one when I start work and the second one around 3:00 or 4:00, so if there's any lag in the medication effect, it's while I'm sleeping. I'm going to have to clarify the administration schedule with her, but if the way I'm taking it is working for me, I'm guessing she'll say to keep it the way it is.
