> Yeah I know I haven't tried enough SSRI's, but one of the main reasons I stopped is because of the major weight gain with all of them(the reason for switching off Paxil/Buspar so soon). I know Wellbutrin shouldn't cause this, but it did. So I'm completely opposed to any medication with serotonin reuptake, no matter what the claims of potential side effects may be.
>Buspar isn't an SSRI, and Paxil is the SSRI most known for weight gain. Have you had any trials lasting two months or more of any other SSRIs?
Also, Wellbutrin is not serotonergic.
I'm sorry you're struggling so much. I'm also sorry to say that I need to back out of this thread, because it's beginning to upset me enough I'm afraid I'll write something inappropriate.
Good luck.
