A year and a half ago I was diagnosed with depression, and I take an antidepressant (Lexapro), it has done wonders for me!. I also get counseling - which is needed to work through the causes of the depression!. I feel so much better - and I wish I had done it long before I did!. I haven't put on weight with the Lexapro!.

It's scary at first - especially for a guy, guys don't like to admit they're "broken"!. But, it's okay!.!.!.

Best of luck to you - You'll make it!!

Be careful!. I had good results with Lexapro, but Welbutrin was a disaster!. Different meds affect different people differently!. Talk to friends and your doctor about your feelings, and pay attention to your mood!.

Try Weight Watchers!.

EDIT:

I am off the meds now!. They were needed to get me through a particularly hard episode in my life!. I do not believe that they are a cure in and of themselves!. While the meds may help you through a crisis, YOU have to work at addressing the root cause of your depression!.

Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

one of the best things i ever did for myself!. it's amazing what chemicals can do to our emotions!. not all anti-depressants make you gain weight!. i took zoloft and prozac (at different times) and never gained!. my mom and friend did gain on paxil tho!.!.!. but said they'd rather be chubby and happy than skinny and miserable =]Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have been on two different kinds and they made me talk to myself!.
I know you wanted success stories and I do wish lot of luck!. Surely they must help some people!. They are widely prescribed!. I personally feel it is the pharmaceutical companies trying to make money!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

last year i was on two different ones!.

i took celexa for a few months but it was horrible it made me gain weight, so i switched to lexapro!. it was awesome and actually decreased my apitite and made me feel so much betterWww@Answer-Health@Com
