Is there a medication for depression (beside, wellbutrin) that does not make one!


Question: I have only taken Wellbutrin, it just does not work for me. I have an apt. with my meds doc on Friday and would like some info. before I go in. I have done some reading on meds, but lord, there is so much to read, so I am asking the people who really know. Thanks!

Most medication has some risk of gaining weight. I have heard of people taking wellbutrin and a more effective antidepressant together, so they don't gain weight. It really depends on the person. Some find certain antidepressants slow them down too much which leads them to gain weight. Some antidepressants make certain people want to overeat, so they gain weight. Lexapro gives many people enough energy to exercise more, but it tends to lead to overeating. I use Lexapro. Usually if you watch your eating and activity, I think you will be fine. There is a new drug that I am researching which might be better, but your doctor will not be able to give it to you.

I disagree with the person who thinks Prozac might work for you. I have used it, and for me the effects were like the ones you had with Wellbutrin plus I couldn't tolerate it very well. I didn't gain weight, but it didn't help either. Ely Lilly made sure the only published studies about Prozac made it look good and now the facts are coming out. Prozac tends to work for those who could basically use any antidepressant or don't need them.

Ask about Lexapro.

Get off the dumb drugs, exercise is the solution, push yourself.

Prozac.
I love Prozac. =]

Good luck!

yes there is but u havn't found it yet

zoloft is good, otherwise known as sertaline

Prozac works really good for me it might for you. You should try it start with the lowest dose 10 mg. I'm on 20mg. It works great. Be patient the first 2 weeks than you'll start noticing the difference. Good luck!!
