just a bit of an add on to this post. I found that a very good combination for me is wellbutrin plus meridia. I haven't been on meridia for about 2 months and I need to go back to it. When I was on meridia plus wellbutrin I was not hungry and happy about it.
a good thing....go figure
Wellbutrin is also prescribed by some docs (of various sorts) to treat binge eaters and bulimics.
here's hoping that you gals find your way to health, happiness, sanity and balance
