Wow, thank you so much for the info on wellbutrin. I had no idea, but I used it to quit smoking and didn't gain a lot of weight. I had heard topamax was good, but I have no idea. Metiform was for diabetes but also works for AP. I can't afford latuda or abilify, but I gained 40lbs on abilify. It just snuck up on me it wasn't in a month or anything. He
took me off aderrall, but I didn't need it bc I have high blood pressure.
Thanks for taking the time to reply
