afatchic: Please disregard the suggestion of Celexa - I have read at least three posts about weight gain from Celexa today and now Harry's post here about this "minor" side effect.
You may want to try one or more of the tricyclics, like Nortriptyline. It has different action altogether than what you have been on but it may be worth a try, nonetheless, as the side effects for you with SSRIs seem to be unacceptable. They would be for me.
