Some suggestions please....

Posted by jbec on November 11, 2003, at 20:35:23

I'm meeting with my doctor soon.

I want to suggest medications for my depression.

I have experienced many side effects from meds, but what is making me almost suicidal is the WEIGHT GAIN and FATIGUE which directly affects my esteem, confidence and ambition. I've gained about 30 lbs and I am so friggin tired that I don't exercise as much as I used to to try and take the weight off--and even when I exercised, I could bench 200lbs, but I couldn't drop weight below 228lbs (5'11" - 36" waist). For some reason, the fatigue creeps back after the initial "activating" feeling subsides.

We've tried Celexa, Prozac, Effexor, Remeron and Wellbutrin. The Wellbutrin was, by far, the best medication.

Bare in mind, I have had NUMEROUS physicals/blood tests/unrine tests and my Thyroid and Testosterone have both been checked and are NORMAL.

So.....

What do you guys think? What medications would you want to try if you had my symptoms?


P.S. I was thinking about suggesting Strattera, I've read some good things about it.

P.P.S. What about some stimulant medication?
