Dear Holly:
I have lost both my parents in the last 5 years and a husband to drug- addiction. I'm so sorry for your loss, I know how hard it can be.
As far as advice regarding weight gain on meds. everybody is different. However, my personal experience has been the following, I have gained weight on all the AD's I've been on (Paxil, Prozac, Effexor, and Zoloft) BUT the good news is that it does taper off in time. I'm finally able to lose weight after having gained about 20- 25 lbs in the last 3 years or so.
I personally would stick to Celexa. Like Noa suggested you can always make a switch later on when you are not undergoing so much stress.Just my opinion.
I wish you all the best. Hang in there, it does get better!Nat
