Thanks for looking at my post :) here's the deal~
I've had a panic anxiety disorder since I was 17.. I'm now 28. I've been on a few different meds, I've been on cipralex for over a year now on 10mg. I was on this med and dose 2 years ago but decided to try Prozac because I gained so much weight! And that's not an understatement. When I tried Prozac I had the worst panic attacks of my life so I just stopped all meds and When I quit I lost over 70lbs over a year or so and was happy with that BUT my anxiety came back all of a sudden badly and I tried to deal with it with no meds but it was out of control! I decided to go back on my trusted cipralex because I KNOW it helps my anxiety. Well a year later (now) I've gained a bunch of weight back like 30+ so I asked my doc about
Wellbutrin.. He said just stop the cipralex all together and start Wellbutrin. Well I know I'm suffering withdrawal and maybe side effects from the new med so I decided after 3 days of increasing anxiety to take half my cipralex (5mg) and try and wean down.. I just wish I could lose this weight and stop the anxiety! I don't even know for sure where it came from aside from having attacks when mocking ****, now it just happens. I'm just wondering what I can do about
the weight gain on cipralex and or the extra anxiety on Wellbutrin!?! I've only been on it 3 days but I hope it gets better not worse.. Maybe I can take both long term and get more benefits? Ugh any thoughts or ideas or experience is greatly appreciated :)
