I know I'm not really a part of the community here, so anyone who takes the time to read and respond to this...thanks! :-)
I'm about to start a new medication called Symbyax...I've read all about it online, but was wondering if anyone here has taken it and how it's effected them.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
