Glad it's working out for you! The weight fluctuation is completely normal. You would most likely fluctuate that much even on no meds at all!

I'm gonna ask my pdoc about it when I see her on Thursday. After doing some research it seems like it might be my best bet. But there are others I'll mention and we'll see what happens. She's usually pretty cool with me calling the shots within reason, so I can probably try anything I want right now.
