I have had the EXACT same symptoms as you...weight gain, depression, breast tenderness, low sex drive. I originally started it per DRs orders to get my period back on track, but I'm gaining weight like crazy. They are saying "stress" is the cause, but I know my body. Something is just not right. I'm getting edjucated--getting all the info out there, learning about testing for hormone levels and then going to my long time general doc with all this info and ask for advice. I am 35.
How ironic....I feel the same way toward my boyfriend, I'm 23 have been on NR for almost a year...same symptoms as you, except for me, no weight gain or loss, I'm hungry all the time, but about the same weight-wise. If I were you I'd try to stick to fruits, veggies and lower-fat foods and try some exercise to prevent any weight gain you may (or may not!) experience. Then you can have your old emotional self back!
