Finally though I gave up on on conventional doses of any antidepressant and since gone from 190lbs to 155-160lbs. These SSRI's just aren't for everyone despite all the media and marketing...I've known probably over twenty people who have been on SSRIs (crazy friends, being in hospitals, etc), and I think that only about two were actually helped by them. I think the perception of their effectiveness *is* basically marketing and media.
I've always wondered why the MAOIs caused weight gain, especially when everything that tastes good is on the "don't eat" list. I think if I went on Nardil, I'd be too scared to eat anything.
