I'm new to this board and have been posting a lot of questions so for those who have noticed, please excuse my lack of knowledge and bear with me.
I was wondering about the effectiveness of Wellbutrin and Effexor and whether anyone has experienced or knows if it causes WEIGHT GAIN. I have gone from my normal 115lbs (I'm 5'4") to a massive 175lbs is just 2 years. I need to lose this weight!!
I am not a big eater to begin with and I eat healthy. I don't have binge problems or increased appetite due to meds. I also am not a snacker AT ALL.
I have been diagnosed with 'Adjustment Disorder with mixed anxiety and depressed mood'.
Of the med I have found that are prescribed for this disorder I have taken Paxil, Prozac, Zoloft (not to mention others). I just weaned myself off of Risperdal due to unwanted side effects and I am currently down to 1.5mg from 3mg of Lexapro (weaning myself off of this as well). I also take Tranxene for anxiety ~~ which is ineffective.
Thanks, Lainy
