Thanks for the responses everybody.
Good luck to y'all, too.
I guess I will stick to the Meridia for now.
I can't stand SSRIs. To their credit, they did keep me from being institutionalized due to the depression caused by culture shock when we moved to the mid-west from California, but the side effects are very bad. I gained over 30 pounds on Paxil and then went to Celexa. Being a size 16 is minimally better than having a nervous breakdown (for a woman).
I would prefer not to have to take anything, but for now I need to keep my sanity.
God Bless
Ethel
