jomavesa,
Thanks for posting your experiences and the book recommendations. I gained weight on Prozac too. And I took it when it first came out and they were claiming it caused weight loss. So I took a lot of credit for lack of self-control,etc. When I finally got off it the weight gradually came off without any particular effort on my part. It was impossible to lose when I was on Prozac.I'm still taking anti-depressants but am aware of an unknown degree of risk. I think it's important to at least weigh the possible risks. It's a hard decision and not one to make lightly.
I hope you post an update with your new program. I think there might be some old posts on L-tryptophan in the archives if you're interested.
Good luck
Oddzilla
