epilim

Has anyone been on epilim before? Due to significant weight gain from zyprexa my pdoc is taking me off it in the hope of then switching me to epilim. I don't know why but I feel scared about going on it but can't put my finger on why..

has it helped anyone? what were the common side effects?

Honestly it didn't help me. I had no reaction to it. I was on 2000 mg and i didn't even have side effects. It was like taking a sugar pill.

However i do know many people who it's worked really well for. They wouldn't prescribe it if that didn't think it would help.

I was on it, I *think* I took 700mg twice a day but I really don't remember!

I was on it about a year. No major side effects, it helped a bit to regulate my moods and helped me sleep.



Isn’t it funny how day by day nothing changes but when you look back, everything is different…

You can get epilim in liquid if you need to, I took it that way.

How are you finding it?

Clearly just seroquel is different to yours Carmen mine is tiny.

But yes I remember now epilim is big (and purple?). I had no side effects except I strangely lost my appetite!

I hope it helps xx
