I am being prescribed these drugs together. I have a few concerns, one is weight gain? I could hide 10 but after that...Dry mouth which is annoying. and the third is the Asthenia. Combined I don't want people to think I am drunk, but I still want people to know I finally feel better and can complete a thought and complete a task without having to be reminded. Thank you for your bravery and comment to me if you want I need eople who are where I am in this and it is pretty new...my family isn't receptive, my husband is because he sees me every day. Thanks for listening.
