> Seanwrx,
> I also tried Lucinda Bassett's program & it didn't do much for me either. I was dissapointed with the program for what I paid for it. I have anxiety/depression not pantic attacks. That's the last time I will order anything I see on TV. I have been on 15mg. of remeron for 2 yrs. & haven't gained any weight. I quess I am lucky. Dr. added lexapro 8 weeks ago so will see if I gain from that. I hear people gain weight on lex. I am a life timer at weight watchers & well below my goal weight but returned to keep tabs on this weight.

>On Lucinda's program, I think its meant for 'everyone' but after going through it twice I think it's most beneficial to a certain type of person. Somebody that can be persuaded easily is how I quess I would put it. They did have some really good success stories, but sometimes I wonder if the people just didn't get over it in thier own time - regardless of the program. Alot of the ideas in the program are good though, and I try to use the ones that I think apply to me, but its hard.
LyndaK > I am hoping that the depression I am having is just rebounds of being on nothing after 5 years or so of constantly being on something for depression. I haven't been crazy-happy or anything, but I haven't had non-stop down in the dumps depression and anxiety. Usually there is some preprieve.
On the Lexapro, I do believe you put on weight with that if I am correct. My co-worker is taking wellbutrin/lexapro and seems to be holding his weight but he eats like there is no tommorow when we head out to lunch. Genetics is probably 9/10s of most of it (hence our problems :)
