I take it for OCD but many people take it for depression and have relief of symptoms. I think my success speaks to the fact that it Can be weight-neutral. Best wishes to you. I know that the med has made all the difference to my life. I would never have made it this far without the medication. so give it some good thought, nobody but you, your doc, and your pharmacist will know and 2 of you are basically sworn to secrecy regarding your prescriptions. Gee, I have heard that Prozac causes weight gain. Wellbutrin is one AD that is not supposed to do that. I had a diet doctor put me on prozac to speed up weight loss. I thought it was helpful, and I was certainly losing at a good clip. But side effects are weird and vary widely. Martha -- Begin where you are - but don't end there. |

"LittleMissWobbles" wrote in message ... I think it's probably a personal thing. May just be a case of trying one and seeing what works. I've just gone back on Aropax. It didn't cause weight gain last time, or any side effects (other than a dry mouth). Oh Lord Have Mercy! I Hate the dry mouth! Elavil here. Mine hasn't affected my weight either. Angela |

You don't have to feel like this. I firmly believe, from everything you have said, that this is one of the big reasons you have reached a plateau, stalled or whatever. Negative mental and spiritual energy have just as much an effect as the positives do. Thanks Angela. I know some ADs are better than others as far as affecting weight or weight loss. Which would be best for not causing weight gain or any other nasty side-effects? I guess I should talk all this over with my doc next time I see her too.

"Fat" Clothes
My mom has a book, can't for the life of me remember the name, of "very"
low impact, "very" non-invasive stretching exercises that has helped her tremendously. I'll call her tomorrow and get the title and let you know. Here it is: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...glance&s=books Good luck. Angela |

I guess I should talk all this over with my doc next time I see her too. I take Effexor because it's supposed to be good for people in chronic pain (and certainly my perception of my pain is less now than it was before I started on it). I've also lost weight taking it. Some psychiatrists here in the USA are starting to prescribe mild amphetamines for people who are on anti-depressants but still having problems with lethargy or apathy while taking them. The combination can get better results than an anti-depressant alone. The best thing to do, of course, is talk to your doctor who is familiar with your history. Don't settle for a smaller improvement than you actually need to live a happy, active life! Shirley to reply via e-mail remove the trees from my address |
