Believe me, Sundance, I understand not wanting to continue switching meds, going through the adjustment phase side effects, etc. I've been tried on more meds in the past year than I've ever taken in the past twenty years, and it has been a nightmare. It's gotten to the point that I don't want to try anything new at all.

If the Zoloft just stopped working in 2003, it probably is too soon to try it again. But you might try the Prozac, since they're pretty similar.

As for the Effexor, when I started taking it, it did decrease my appetite a bit at first, which then levelled off after the first few weeks. It was good for anxiety, which is probably part of that decrease. You may find the same sort of thing if you try it.

Good luck to you.
