> The only thing that has helped me to lose any weight at all, has been Topamax! My doctor gave it to me to take with Paxil because it curbs the appetite. I have acutally lost 7lbs in the past 2 months. I went through one entire year of doing major aerobics for 1.5 hours a night, 5 nights a week, and dieting. After the year was up, my weight had not budged! This is when I was on Prozac...I have drank and still drink 8-10 glasses of water a day-THAT MADE NO DIFFERENCE. I have starved myself-THAT MADE NO DIFFERENCE..

> IT'S TOTAL CRAP-WE TRY TO REACH OUT TO THE MEDICAL PROFESSION AND WE TAKE THESE MEDICATIONS TO HELP OURSELVES AND THEN WE END UP WITH ANOTHER ISSUE...I'm on SSRIs and I'm thinner now than I've been in years -- my pdoc thinks I'm underweight. I wonder what percentage of people really do gain weight on SSRIs? Does anyone know?
