I also put on 24lbs after being on these drugs for 18 months. I tried just about everything. Exercise x3 times a week. Dieting.....all differnet types. Today, 20 months on, I still cannot loose the weight I gained! If you do find a solution please post it on this site as I do know that many others are also looking for a way to shed those pounds.
Good luck. Don't worry you can get off this medication it just takes a lot of will power and determination. If you have a relapse and think you can't go another day just take one tablet and continue where you left off from.....believe me it's the only sure way. I tried several occassions to get off them. Tapering gradually going cold turkey etc. In the end the only way I did it was by cold turkey, BUT, taking a tablet say every tenth day or so when I felt so bad I wanted to die. Taking that one tablet just got me through to the next tenth or maybe twelvth day until eventually I didn't need them anymore.
See how it goes and the best of luck to you.
