I was on prozac 11 months, it seemed ok, except I gained about 15 lbs. I used to be able to eat whatever I wanted, but exercised a lot. I still exercise, but nothing's happening. It seems vain and stupid to put vanity above mental health, but I am not sure what's worse- feeling uncomfortable and big, or anxious and depressed. I was on 20 mg a day, and just stopped a week ago. Does Wellbutrin work better? I have depression that runs in the family, and some anxiety and major insomnia that I take ambien for.
I was on Paxil and Celexa each for a month before prozac- they both made me very sick- muscle pains, worse insomnia, fatigue and jaw grinding. Does anyone have advice on going off Paxil, and how soon the weight comes off, and what else to expect? Thanks!!!
