Ed,

It's a strong possibility at this point. How does it contribute to weight gain by the way? Does it slow metabolism as well as increase appetite? It seems that some people here claim to not be eating more and they may even be exercising, yet those pounds are piling on. I wonder how doxepin compares to Remeron in this respect as I'm already gaining weight. (These last two years I have been thin. For many years before that I had extra weight from these meds. I hate having to give up one of the very few good things in my life now!)

Also, if you don't mind my asking, how do SSRIs contribute to weight gain? Is it through increased appetite only? They don't have anihistaminic effect so I wonder what the mechanism is. I find it confusing that taking 5-htp or tryptophan has the opposite effect.

Thanks,
Kara
