Pam,
I gained 20 lbs, but that could be a combo of old age, going on the pump, and the effexor, but why I lost 7 lbs. now is truly being off the effexor.
Our whole family has sleeping issues and many of us are on Ambien, which I take every night.
I am going to try Kim's suggestions, and try the Vit B and mag and also try to be more religious in my vitamin taking something that is hit or miss right now.
Karen
