Hi everyone,
I know there will be many different opinions on this, and am interested in any of them! I am talking to my doctor this week about a new medication, and am so tired of the weight gain from the many SSRI's and none has worked for my anxiety anyway. I'm curious to know if anyone has found a medication that has not caused any weight gain (or they have lost weight?!) and I don't care what it is, SSRI, or anything else, but has worked for them, including a cocktail you want to write about. I am so sick of anxiety, I just feel like crying. Again. Social anxiety, Generalized, a little OCD, phobic, so there's a lot there! what fun. I'm feeling a little disheartened at the moment, excuse me. I was just reading about Gabatril at this site and am interested because it says it didn't cause weight gain (I was considering neurontin until i read about weight gain there too!) I read about some horrific side effects at high doses, which scare me, but maybe at low doses? I read about tranquil-q or something, which i can't tell if it's legal anymore, and costs a lot, and then read about ultram, don't know the status on that, and don't know if my doctor will prescribe it. It is a new doctor, and my old doctor was fine about prescribing clonazepam, which worked well, and i never became addicted, but this new doctor seems to think i should go on an SSRI. of course he isn't a single 30 something woman, so weight gain's not an issue for him! I want so much to find out something I can tell him about on Wednesday that he won't immediately dismiss and send me off for yet another ssri, because that's all he seems to want to write off for me. If anyone has any great experiences to write about, I will be so grateful!!!!!!!!!
