> I have a friend on Effexor and she's lost 20 pounds..Yea i too have been on Lexipro. Never had those feelings though lol. I've pretty much been on every med based for anxiety. Docotor gave me ativan yesterday for my major panic attacks. They seem to help calm me down alot, but i wont take them all the time cause I have an extremely addictive personality. Depression really isnt a problem at this point thank goodness. It's just the extreme anxiety. I would love to lose weight on this cause I actually am an pretty obese person. I havent gained any weight on the meds in a year. I just started a new low-cal diet 2 weeks ago and I am shedding some pounds but I think its more the diet than anything. I will definetly keep you posted on how I'm doing. I actually am feeling a little better hour by hour, day by day. I just feel a lil more tired than usual. I'll let ya know. Thanks...JB
