Which meds are best for those of us not wanting to gain weight?? I'm currently on 5mg yprexa (and though I know it makes me gain weight, I won't come off this) and am process fo withdrawing from Mirtazapine. I've gained 10lbs in 2 months on mirtazapine, with no uplift in mood (on 45mg) and simply can't put up with this.. gaining weight is justs eriously adding to my depression.
My GP suggested trying Prozac.. I see my psychiatrist next week, so will discuss this all with him then. I had sworn off SSRI's, though Effexor did help me while I was on it, coming off was the worst experience of my life.
Is Prozac good for this?? GP said it has an appetite supressing effect, which would be fab.
I just *really* need to lsoe wieght, but I need to lighten this awful depression too..
Aaaaaaahhhhhhh
