Depression Learning

SSRI drugs

Question:

I was already overweight and Paxil added about another 20 lbs.  I get fat from being depressed and eating too much so obviously these drugs did not help me one bit.  My father died while I was taking 40 mg. a day of Paxil and it conveniently stopped working.  I was switched to Valium to offset the shakes from the Paxil.  I don’t wish to mess with these drugs anymore.  Serzone gave me frightening "visual trails" – an alledgedly rare side-effect.  All of these SSRI drugs are useless for me, but IF they do help you go right ahead and try them I guess is all that I can say.  So far, none have helped me but I am fighting a much more serious illness than depression.  Merry Xmas everyone.

  SSRI’s saved my life.  Yes, I have put on weight, but I am still ALIVE. And, more than that, I am actually hopeful about the future.  I have no regrets.  Dave

If that is so, how would you know whether SSRIs work for depression or not? I wonder what is more serious than depression? Do you know how many of us are totally dysfunctional? Bri — Dum spiro, spero.

Response:

There must be a medication you can take that does not cause weight gain.  Wellbutrin or Parnate would be good.  Don’t get worn out after taking a few medications.  Every patient will have to go through several in his lifetime to find one that is tolerable.
