> Benzos don't cause wt gain.
I was more worried about benzos from a motivation and coordination perspective. I don't really need to find excuses to skip runs and I don't want to fall down more often than I already do on trail runs.
I've taken valium twice in my life and I remember feeling a bit off in my coordination. Although, one of those times I'd also had percocet with it, as I was heading out the door for a minor surgical procedure that starts with a V. My wife was driving and I no longer cared what part of my body they were going to be cutting.
Remeron was the drug that really concerned me from the weight gain perspective. That is where I probably would have started on ADs, rather than Cymbalta, if I wasn't a runner and concerned about my weight. At least, that's what the doc told me he might have done.
Thanks for the responses.
