Say what you will, Joy, but I don't think he's lying. He warned me about weight gain with Remeron and others I've tried. He warned me about weight loss with Wellbutrin, and all have been true. He told me no weight effect with Neurontin. He said slight weight loss with Celexa, but weight gain with the older SSRIs -- Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, etc. -- with Paxil being the worst offender. He has never steered me wrong before. Plus, he has other patients who use Celexa and hasn't seen a problem with them.
In reading the posts in the archives where people complain about weight gain on Celexa, they've also been on a drug known FOR weight gain at the same time. In fact I just saw one the other day where the person had also been on Paxil. Time will tell, won't it?
