> If anxiety is your main problem, you could take a benzo when needed and stay away from the SSRIs [only Prozac does not cause weight gain in 70% OF it's users; IT DOES FOR OTHERS THOUGH]. If you only take the benzo [if you do not have an addictive personality] then you will be able to lose weight, have no sexual dysfunction, you won't be too tired to exercise [exercise before you take the benzo] which may help the depression. I take Xanax and a little Trazone at night for insomnia, and just got off Prozac after a year [no weight gain], but I took Paxil and a couple of others, and I feel the side effects outweigh the benefits. I am doing well now. I am 4 weeks off Prozac, weaned down and keep as low a stress level as possible. I now have emotional support. These things make it easier.......Try a benzo if you won't abuse them. You'll lose weight. Best wishes

Thanks Joy. I am looking into a few different possibilities. I *know* I have to get this weight off, as I am only 32, but if I stay like this, too much of a health risk. I will keep the board up to date on how/what I am doing/taking. Thanks so much again!
