Lori stop telling my story as if it is your own. I gained 100 lbs with

Prozac too. I don't think it is the physical, I think we gained because without

the depression we allowed ourselves to be free and eat what we wanted. You

guys think freedom from obesity is great. Freedom from a lifetime of severe

depression, fat or thin, is like coming into the sunshine from a deep, dark

storm.

My opinion is this (after 10 years on anti depressants)...if your counselor

thinks you could benefit, you out to give them a try. I haven't experienced

any weight gain from them. Keep in mind, however, that you may have to try

several different ones and several different dosages before you find the one

that works for you. I tried 6 or 7 before I got on Paxil. It works for me.

Others take Zoloft, welbutrin, etc. Every one does not work the same for

every person.

Bev,

I think it would be worth a try. I have been on and off

antidepressants for 15 years now. Some antidepressants can make you gain

weight. I gained about 75 to 100 lbs after starting Prozac and another

75 to 100 lbs after starting serzone. I have actually started loosing

weight again after starting Wellbutrin. I believe Jac mentioned that not

all meds work the same on all people. A prime example of this is that

most people loose weight on Prozc. I was that less then 1% that actually

gained weight on it. So it may take a little experimenting.

Anti-depressants have been a life saver (literally) for me. It certainly

can't hurt to try.

Oh no, have I found a twin or what? It truly is great to come out from

underneath that big black cloud that followed me for years. Lori O.

Bev,

I have suffered and been treated for depression for many years, some

of which I was not obese. I have always felt that baby weight gain

2x's and Zoloft were the major causes of my obesity. For years

zoloft was not thought to contribute to weight gain. I talked to my

doc's many times about it. It was helping very well with the

depression though. So I continued. I was in counseling for weight

issues during that time also. I finally switched to Wellbutrin not

long before my surgery. So, I have no proof that the zoloft really

contributed to the gain. Of course, we all know once the weight is

on, it is very hard to lose. I also took meds for arthritis and was

unable to exercise so that also contributed. I would highly

recommend antidepressants. It may take a few tries and some changes

in dosage to find the right mix. They have made a big difference in

my life even w/ the weight gain.

Good Luck.
