My weight is currently still horrible. Since I was put on Depakote, Venlafaxine and Quetiapine back in 2009 I ballooned up to over 27 stone. Nothing would curb my disgusting appetite. But I was taken off Venlafaxine in October of last year and I think as it slowly got out of my system I have...

Thanks! :happy:

So I was diagnosed with type 2 today. My GP phoned me and gave me the news and sent an electronic prescription straight to the chemist for Metformin. I've been put on cholesterol meds too (oh joy!) I take so many meds for various things that this is quite depressing. Over the past five years my...
