> I was just reading about meridia and wonder if I should consider asking my doctor for it. I've been on celexa for 1 year and gained 40lbs. Does anyone know if its possible to take meridia with celexa? or can they suggest something else I should try?

I've read that amphetamines with antidepressants can be lethal. I have used metabolite and my doctor knew it. It helped but made me nervous, too. What I do is to have regular checkups with blood work to see if I have any problems from my extra 40 pounds. I don't have anything serious yet. I think it's better to have the pounds rather than be suicidal-unless you can find another antidepressant that is better that way. I found that I didn't put on as much with Effexor XR. Have you thought that you might just have to wait a little longer to lose some? I don't know how long you have been dieting, though. It takes me seemingly forever to lose weight and then I get disappointed. I need more patience with myself. Good luck.
