Does anyone take anxiety meds with no weight gain?

Does anyone take anxiety meds with no weight gain?

Almost everyone I know who has taken some form of anxiety meds have shown some weight gain!  This is terrible as I gained 30lbs on Lexapro.  It did seem to ease the general anxiety, but now I have a whole other issue to deal with, social anxiety and low self-esteem due to the extra weight.  I don't even feel like going out with my friends anymore, because I feel very uncomfortable, and my anxiety and nerves get the best of me and I end up leaving somewhere with my friends with a stomachache.  Anyone had luck finding one that doesn't seem to effect your weight as much?

I have had weight gain on my Lorazepam. I hate it. I want to weight what I used to weigh. Then the generic Toprol I was on added more weight to me. GAH, I hate it so much. Now I am like 150 from 130 and cannot lose the weight. :( :( I hate it. I gained almost 10 lbs. in like 4-5 days, and have been at that weight since. :( That was a few months ago. And even if I diet, I have trouble losing weight. GAH!! It's a rebounding cycle...
