    "my diet is below average" does not sound like a healthy planned diet. If you are eating healthy try eating about half as much healthy food as usual for a while to see if you lose weight. Losing weight requires attention and calculation

      Yes I do recall getting really quite skinny in it but the gain wasn't huge. Maybe being smaller got me into all the extreme sports and racing I did so it wasn't so bad - the weight gain

      congratulations on your new marriage. when I Google adverse effects I was left back to this site that discussion about persistent weight gain that unfortunate solution was to go back on medication and Wean yourself off of it, this is a possible solution that you might not want to try if your trying to get pregnantif you can locate the discussion I think it would be very helpful to you otherwise I'll continue to read it and support you with details
