Frustrated with weight gain, fatigue and overall pain. I want to know which is causing weight gain. I also feel horrible most of the time.

After taking Depakote for several years the side effects seemed to take over my life. I was then diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and have a lot of pain, confusion, and fatique. I fear that the drug did something to my body's chemistry.

I gained weight on citalopram, and was prescribed ability on top of it, which made my normal weight of 135 go up to 160. I stopped taking ability, and was recently prescribed Vyvanse, which works amazingly for me as a writer. I was always ADD but didn't realize I was different. Since taking vyvanse, my weight has increased again.

used Teva brand 10mg Lisinopril for 10+ years with no problems, pharmacy switched to Wokhardt brand Lisinopril in November 2012, began experiencing symptoms in late November 2012 that got steadily worse over time, I realized it was related to the timing of the new Lisinopril so I had the pharmacy switch brands to Lupin (have not been able to find Teva Brand again) Symptoms are less with Lupin brand but stll present.
