I have Gad, and the SSRIs fatten me up like a turkey on Thanksgiving, even at low doses. I am fed up with it. I've been on the SSRI rollercoaster for 5 years.... started at 146lsb, now a lardy 220...
I've finally been able wean down over the years as to where I am on low doses of SSRIS...
1) What is good for GAD that isn't serotogenic and "fattening"?
2) Of my med combo below, what else could be the "fat" culprit?
1) Prozac 10 MGS- huge step for me as I was once on high doses of SSRIS but haven't been for 2 years now. Weight won't BUDGE still
2) Klonopin .75 MG
3) Topamax 50 MG (funny this was supposed to help with the weight... no dice)I am seeing a new psych doc soon and want to make it very clear that this has been a problem that I want him to monitor and actually take seriously (you know how some PDOCS shrug it off)
