The other thing you can do to counter the sugar issues is to eat protein with every meal. There is a website that deals with sugar issues called radiantrecovery they have a 7 step program that deals with sugar in connection with meds. One of the first steps is to include protein at every meal and snacks to offset the sugar cravings. It does help. I am on lexapro and do this to make sure I don't gain any. But lexapro has had the side-effect with me to make me have no appetite. Go figure.
Anyway, try to protein thing. It has certainly helped me. I have lost some of what I gained from sugar cravings.
Good luck rk
