hi.
just tried to post/register/whatever so this might be a duplicate...might be old news too. (new at this cyber stuff)
i went through the weight gain and asexual side effects with paxil-prozac too.
after no weight change whith various combos of exercise minor diet (only)st.john's wort and no ads i had no weight changesi tried welbutrin and the weight started to come off.
this happened before i lost my cravings for fats alcohol and cigaretts (but not sex thankfully).
my problem was an increase in anxiety which posed a problem because my original diagnosis was panic disorder and i feared for my job.
anyway, i've read that you can take it with an ssri and it could counter the weight and sexual side effects.
i went off and am starting buspar for anxiety in hope of starting the welbutrin again.
and buspar isin aclass separate from the benzos like xanax and valium so i might just have a life some cake and eat it too!
any thoughts?
sue
