			<description><![CDATA[
I have seen a lot of post on the internet about mirtazapine and weight gain. Saying that the medication it self puts wright on you. How can a tablet do that? Surley it is what you eat? I can understand that the med can increase your appetite, so if you eat healthly then you shouldnt put weight on? Any comments would be welcomed Jools

			<description><![CDATA[
I have been taking Lexipro for a year now and although it has helped with my anxiety it has also caused me to gain 10 pounds. I&#8217;ve asked my doctor if there&#8217;s a medicine that doesn&#8217;t cause weight gain and she recommended Pristiq, and mentioned that it might cause weight loss. As a slim guy I can&#8217;t afford to lose too much weight, but at that the same time I certainly don&#8217;t want to gain any more weight.

My doctor started me on Viibryd about a month ago after I&#039;d been on Lexapro for years and it had stopped working as well. I did the standard step-up dosage pattern with the starter pack... started at 10mg and was up to 40mg by the 3rd week. I should mention that I am anorexic and bulimic and my doctor is well aware of this, and when he told me about this new Viibryd medication I adamantly stated that I CANNOT be on anything that causes weight gain. (I also take 450mg of Wellbutrin XL and...

			<description><![CDATA[
I keep reading that Bipolar meds. generally cause weight gain, but what I am experiencing is weight loss, &#38; total lack of appetite -- especially with the Triliptal. Concerning Seroquel, I look at food and want to vomit --plus I can&#039;t remember anything, and walking is a task in itself. I feel like I am walking sideways (ataxia) Anyone else experience no interest in food with the antipsychotic meds. or even with an anticonvulsant like Triliptal?

Having just switched off Paxil to a weight neutral (hopefully) AD, I&#039;m looking to lose the Paxil weight- I know Seroquel can likewise cause weight gain, should I be concerned about using small doses (eg 25mg) of seroquel to manage anxiety in terms of weight gain?

My doc wants me to change from Gabapentin to Lyrica. I did my research but I want YOUR opinion. I don&#039;t want to stop Gab and change to Lyrica because of weight gain. I guess Lyrica is better for pain then Gab. I have fibromyalgia and I&#039;m taking 2400 mg of Gab a day. I guess that&#039;s too much because Gab causes bad memory probs. I have signs of dementia, and I want to do the right thing. My doc lowered my dose of Gab to 1500 mg. yesterday. I&#039;m uncomfortable with the abrupt halt...

I&#039;m 23, approximately 2 years ago I started taking celexa (40mg/daily.) I gained about 50 pounds over the last 2 years (mainly the last year) I feel good, my anxiety is under control but I&#039;m so disgusted about the way I look and feel that I don&#039;t know what I can do anymore! I work out, I&#039;m a vegetarian and watch what I eat and drink plenty of water. I&#039;m so ashamed of myself. Any suggestions? Should I take a different medication or they all have this nasty side effect?...
