I used to post on these boards back in '06. Weight-wise, I started at 220 and went down to 135-140 and managed to keep it off - until I started taking Celexa for anxiety 3 years ago this month. I now weigh 160. I've read that a 20-pound gain is pretty standard for these drugs. However, I'm currently on the "road back" and coming down off of the Celexa. I was taking 20mg. I'm now a month into cutting it back to 10mg. I go see my doctor Thursday to get a 'script for a 5mg tablet that I will start taking once I get the 'script filled.
I've heard that some people drop to their pre-medication weight once they're off the pills, but I've also read that some people are never able to lose the weight at all and find it completely impossible to get rid of it.
Has anyone here had any experience with dropping gained weight while on AD/AA medication?
I'd also love to hear from anyone in the same boat that's trying to lose the med weight, whether you're still on the medication or not.
Thanks
