I stopped using in 1995, and also experienced weight-gain. I returned to my normal weight about one year later. I don’t know if any of this means my “metabolism” changed, or if it was just a change in lifestyle.

In my experience, however, dieting isn’t very helpful. You’ll need to start some sort of exercise. Try doing something active that you actually enjoy, and you’ll be more likely to stick with it.

Good luck with your recovery!
