I feel like I'm chasing my tail! I've tried Lexapro for anxiety - and it is pretty good, except that it make me hungry and crave certain food (kinda like Celexa did). I don't want to gain another 30 lbs like I did on Celexa (which I have never taken off!)
Klonopin works good for emergency anxiety but if I take it all the time it make me a little depressed.
Cymbalta gave me heartburn.
Once again, thinking of going back to Effexor and Wellbutrin.
What works well for anxiety, but doesn't take away sex drive and make me fat?

How do you take your Klonopin? From what I understand, it works best in 3 doses per day. If taking it once or twice a day is depressing you, try a lower dose divided into 3 equal parts. I too am on Lexapro and have gained back all the weight I lost while taking Effexor and at times I wonder if it would be effective again for me. Wellbutrin, ironically, made me very tired.
Good luck,
Colleen
