The only things that have controlled the Nardil weight gain for me are the complete elimination of carbohydrates, or exercising for 2+ hours per day.That's exactly what it feels like. I remember noting when I was eating a great deal of carbs that it felt as if there was something "missing" in my brain. Something that used to kick in was not, and I "felt" the void.
Chromium picolinate (600 mcg) and Provigil seem to counter that a bit. I've lost 10 pounds from my peak weight, and I don't binge as much as I used to.
