I've been taking AD's for over 2 years and have gained 20 pounds. During that time, I've gone through periods of weight loss due to depression and anxiety, but have gained it all back and then some. I started out on Zoloft and am currently on Celexa, 80mg/day. I noticed a distinct difference between the Zoloft and Celexa as far as sex drive is concerned where the Zoloft was much harsher than the Celexa. Now, maybe because its such a high dose, I have basically no sex drive and I can't seem to lose weight to save my life. My pdoc suggested adding Wellbutrin to the Celexa to see if it would help me lose some weight. I've read some posts about irritable bowel syndrome associated with the WB and how the person lost 10 pounds and is still losing weight. Has anyone out there lost weight with WB and have you noticed any difference in your sex drive while taking it? I'm getting very frustrated and considering going off meds all together to lose this weight and feel more sexual. The down side to that is that if i do go off meds, I'm going to be depressed and obsessing in no time and I don't want to be that way if I don't have to. Suggestions? Comments? Advice? Please?
