Well, went back to the doc yesterday as I am running out of my Zoloft and wanted to try Wellbutrin instead. Zoloft just turned me into a lump and I have gained 7 lbs of unwanted fat since I've been on it and I am completely numb below the waist. My regular doc is on vacation so the doc I had yesterday argued with me about the Wellbutrin. He said it wouldn't be a good choice for me and and offered me samples of the Effexor instead. He also said he was really surprised that I gained weight from the Zoloft and told me that weight gain is not a predominant side effect. He said I won't gain weight from the Effexor but I don't trust him. So I didn't take it. I threw the samples he gave me away. I have gone a couple of days without any antidepressants and it feels like I am waking up from a long sleep. I am hoping to drop a pound or 2 this weekend since I am dieting again. While on the Zoloft, I couldn't lose a pound even when I really cut my calories AND worked out an hour each day! So....we shall see what happens with my moods now. What a price we pay to feel good, huh??
