i'd consider another antidepressant. i know so many love their lex here, but it gave me the worst pain/ cramps i'ver ever had - woke me up in the middle of the night from these, about 2 wks after i started it. (no other ad has ever done anything like this & i've been on almost all of them over these many years.) i had to stop lex asap. really scared me!
their are scads of other ads to try in several different classes. if your'e trying to gain weight and enhance your appetite, remeron might be a good choice. it's known for being very gi and ibs friendly, and, unlike other ads, usually starts working in the very first week. also very good for anxiety and sleep.
