After 8 different AD's in 4 months and weight that could not possibly be gained under normal circumstances, I have absolutely refused to take an AD again. There has not been a single AD amongst the 20 or so that I have been prescribed (recent 8 included) that has aided me in anyway.
I have been medication free since March but am really struggling to lose the weight gained against my will. And have developed all sorts of eating issues at the same time. (That I never had prior to AD's).
I understand what you are feeling cablegirl.

PS - Effexor started the weight gain
PPS - My comments above are in relation to *myself* and my own experience. I am in no way advocating that AD's will be the same for others. It is unfortunate that I am AD resistant and that AD's made my situation worse (and me fat), but I am totally aware that AD's have saved many lives and will continue to do so. I just thought I should mention that.
