I can't lose weight and want off the meds!!

by JenniferM27, Mar 15, 2007 12:00AM
Why can't I lose this weight!  I went on Lexapro back in 2004 for about 3 or four months and gained 25lbs which I can't lose!  I then decided to try another med. effexor and had wonderful results for a little while, I even lost about 10lbs.  However, I became imune to the dosage and had to up the annie a bit and became very tired and gained the weight back and more!  Now I am on Welbutrin which made me crazy the first two weeks, and now I am pretty blah and bloated!  I really just want to get off of it all for good!  Any suggestions?  I am soooo frustrated!!!

well i dont have any real suggestions...but thought i would share, i was on serzone, lost 30 pounds, went off that, went on zoloft gained 50 pounds....so then went off that and went on prozac and lost 20 pounds, then somehow i have gained weight.....about 10 pounds using a muscle relaxer and i believe effexor was 5 pounds..somewhere in there...so it is a nightmare..u gain on one, lose on another.....and it makes you more depressed... I believe CYMPBALTA has a low instance of weight gain... i know someone who went on that and lost 5 pounds so far.
