i've posted on and off here about my major weight gain problems from paxil and celexa (i'm diagnosed w/ GAD). i am now up 30-40 pounds since starting these drugs even though i am exercising for an hour 4 times a week. most of my anxiety/depression is because of my weight now!
i really want to try wellbutrin. i've read so much of the medical literature on it's weight reduction properties. problem is, my doctor wanted to try all these other things before moving to wellbutrin. i was on effexor for 4 months with no results and major brain foggyiness.
can anyone give me suggestions of how to stress to my dr. that i just want to try the wellbutrin? could anyone who's on it let me know some of the other positive things so i could explain those to my dr.? i'm really feeling desperate for some medical intervention for this weight gain and the psychological side effects!
