      I was on Zoloft. It did wonders.

        I was taking Prozac until I began Atkins. Now that my blood sugar has stabilized and I feel really great, I realize that my mood swings and lack of energy were misdiagnosed. :joy

              I take Wellbutrin. It seems to work for addictive behaviors and for people who worry alot.

                I do a cocktail. I spent years going from one antidepressant to the next. Nothing really seemed to really work. I started with a new doctor this year and she started me on a combo. Funny thing is that they are all ones that I tried before. So I take Wellbutrin, not the generic as it does not work the same. 1/2 a Lexapro and Trazidone at night. I also take B complex and 5HTP with my other vitamins and supps. I did just up my Wellbutrin from 150 to 300 to get me through the winter. I always feel like I just crawled out of a hole when spring gets here.

                  I was taking Zoloft (200mg) daily, with Klonopin on the side. For the last year, my doctor has been weaning me off, though I stopped taking it last spring.

                  It's interesting, I started taking it three years ago, and since that time, my weight went from 240-something to almost 270.

                  Unfortunately, I have noticed some of my symptoms returning. Not strong, but I can tell. So, I'll probably be going back on it again. I hope that when I do, I won't have the weight gain.

                    I've taken Effexor, Paxil, and Serzone. None of these works and actually they are mostly the reason I'm trying to lose weight. I started Wellbutrin in September and felt great for one whole week and nada since. Dosage was upped, but it's not helping, so I dunno right now.

                            I just started taking Paxil AGAIN, for my SAD. It's working great! Although I sleep more, but that's ok. I don't feel as sad, just a little tired.
