Lots of different options. What does your doctor think?
There are all the tricyclics (TCAs), MAOIs, other SSRIs. What is it about these drugs that you've used that made them unsuitable? Lar P.S. I'm out the door in twenty seconds, so no hurry on the reply. |

Just wondering how you managed to gain weight with prozac? Prozac along with Wellbutrin both made me lose a massive amount of weight...to the point I was in the low 80's at 5'2".
For me, my weight loss is initiated my a reaction to meds like the prozac & wellbutrin, & also stress makes me unable to eat & causes massive weight loss. I did refuse to take those meds that are known for weight gain since weight gain is an issue with me. Debbie

Light therapy. I posted something about this on the General board. Light therapy has made a big difference for me. Can you talk to your doc about maybe renting a light to see if it would work for you?
