> I love my prozac, it has helped me with my anixety and panic. For the last 2 yrs that I have been taking it, I have gained weight. It was tolerable, as long as my anxiety was under control. Now the weight gain has become an issue for me. My dr wrote me a script today for EFFEXOR XR. He said this should help to loose some of the weight I gained.

> Is this my answer? ThanksI don't know if this is THE answer but i can tell you my own experience. I started amytriptiline about 2 and a half months ago. I gained almost 10 pounds. I have really strong weight issues so i was terribly disgusted with the way I look. I started Paxil a few days ago and have already noticed a decrease in my appetite. I still can't bring myself to exercise because I feel so tired all the time but I think this Paxil might help with the weight loss. I know these aren't the same meds you're on but it does seem a positive step toward keeping my weight in check.
All you can do is try right?
keep in touch and good luck to you
