Well, I've never taken an AD that hasn't helped the depression.

I think I want to stop, sometimes, and then I do and slowly my brain turns to warm melted vanila icecream and within a few weeks I'm suicidal. I stop because I want to have sex and, very quickly, I am capable of sex but don't really care as I slow down in molasses mildew and moth eaten pain. And, I tend to eat when I'm depressed. So I gain more weight than if I was on meds to begin with.... Catch 22.

I took the weight loss med sibutramine and that helped with my depression and fatigue but I was so nervous on it, I hated to leave my bed.

Nothing is perfect.

I have a feeling cymbalta and lexapro would not be very different.

As for Parnate, tried it. The dietary restrictions did not bother me at all. I really don't eat (or drink) much of anything that was restricted except when I crave chocolate and Parnate took away food cravings... but it, somehow, seemed make my thinking foggy and made me gain weight, too. (Nardil, by the way, put me to sleep.)

Thanks for the input about cymbalta and lexapro.

I live in Wisconsin and I need more zoloft during the winter. I'll just have to really work it when spring comes around when I can lower zoloft to 12.5 or 25 mgs.

Later, River.
