Hi Johnj,
Glad you're feeling a little better. Sedation, dizziness (lowered blood pressure?), and feeling hungry all the time were the main side-effects I noticed starting up. All resolved with time and/or increased dose. I did gain 20 lbs. which hasn't budged, but I think that too is related to the muscle relaxant effect (i.e. if your muscles are less active in general - even at rest - your metabolism is lower), but others on this board differ on that opinion. From my experience, this drug seems to have a strong effect all by itself, so I don't know how it would interact with other drugs in combination.
Hang in there and good luck.
Lynda
