Studies have also shown that they slow down your metabolism.
You are obviously exercising, but is you food intake the same as when you weren't taking the medication?

I'm certainly no expert (having NO experience with any of this, but I have dropped 30+ pounds this year), but I think Mike is on to the answer. You need to reduce your food intake! When my lab was over my vet's recommended weight several years in a row, he kept on me to reduce her food intake (even though I thought I was already starving her), saying that "if it only takes a thimble full of food to keep her weight down, then that's the proper amount"...and he was right. I'm betting that you're still eating like before, even though your metabolism has slowed down? Maybe try eating less (i.e. pick some fraction of what you eat now...say 3/4s portions each meal) and see how that works? Good luck!
