Yeah Newtus , i read role call from time to time and i have heard you say your either off meds or on reduced meds on many occasions. It seems like your going to have to take the meds as prescribed, with as much discipline as breathing , and then implement your weight loss strategy on top of this. Its no good saying ive gained x amount of pounds , i must give up or cut down on meds , or if you feel distressed , your either going to have to push through it or find a med you can tolerate at a therapeutic dose.
