In reply to WEIGHT LOSS on SSRI's - any luck?, posted by Lainy on February 6, 2004, at 7:47:12
> I've put on 60lbs from being on SSRI's for a couple of years. This is not a comfortable weight for me since I'm female and 5'4". My normal weight is 120lbs. I feel horrible and I know I look the same. I've gone from size 2 or 4 to a size 16!
>
> I have a great diet, I eat very little, I don't snack...and I now walk a few times a week.
>
> Has anyone had any success losing weight put on from an SSRI (and possibly benzos)while still on the medication? If so, please let me know your regimen...PLEASE I'M GOING MAD FROM THIS WEIGHT.
>
> LAINYI have also gained 35 pounds from Effexor and feel terrible, I'm going to my doctor today to see if switching to Lexapro and Wellbutrin may be an alternative...at least it may not stop me from loosing weight. I swear right now I could not eat for a week and still gain weight!
