Zyprexa isn't a anti-depressant, it's an anti-psychotic.
MAO's must be awful dangerous if SSRIs are considered 'safe' in comparison. BECAUSE SSRIs ARE NOT SAFE, NOR ARE THEY DESIGNED TO ACCURATELY TARGET A LEVEL OF Seretonin balance. THEY HAVE DAMAGED THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE. As I'm sure the Forum MD must know by now? Cos there's plenty of literature and research I've posted below here to show how UNSAFE ssris actually are. Was hoping for a hero, obviously I am going to be disappointed doc.
Could you please explain what you mean by "transient".
Thank you.
Since you had such a good effect with Zyprexa, you might ask your doctor about staying in the same family of medications, and one that has only a transient weight effect is a medication called Quetiapine.
A second recommendation would be concentrate on ssri's rather than MAo inhibitors...much safer, and at least as effective.
