In reply to Anybody try SIBUTRAMINE (Meridia) for depression?, posted by SLS on July 17, 2003, at 11:14:24
Yes, it works okay for depression. But, for me, it causes a lot of anxiety. I use it in the winter when I tend to need a very stimuling medication for depression. More stimulating that ritalin. I can get out of bed when the alarm sounds...for someone who is half-comatose in the morning, sibutramine is miraculous. I also use it if I need to get off Effexor. I switch from one to the other overnight, use it for a week or 10 days and avoid the weeks of withdrawal from effexor. Hope that helps a little.
