In reply to Less SSRI Weight Gain at Higher Dosage Levels?, posted by MelindaJ on December 12, 1999, at 12:29:06
> I'm back on Zoloft, still struggling to lose the 30lbs I gained from my last round and experiencing carb. cravings at the worst time of the year! I read a remark made by a Dr. at another web site that his patients' cravings usually disappeared when their dosages were increased to the 200-400 mg range. He also suggested switching to Effexor, Serzone or supplementing with Wellbutrin. Have any of you experienced success with these stategies? Also, has anyone experienced an increase in severe headaches at these dosage levels?
Michele here,
What a drag re weight gain. It is hard for me to fathom dosages up to 300mg - wow. I had such sever effects with everthing but effexor at levels 50% below the usual dosage. Hope you can find a way around the problem but doesn't the idea of mixing and matching concern you at all?
I lost weight on Prozac (5years ago) but became very bored with the 'flat' emotional life and painful orgasms. Don't think they have come up with any really great chemical solutions yet and meanwhile we are the guinea pigs.
Good luck.
