    Go know thyself is THE RED QUEEN

    All antidepressants lead to weight gain with the exception of one called stratera which is diagnosis specific.

    Wellbutrin has the opposite effect if you already have tendencies toward an eating disorder. They don't prescribe it if you do, makes it worse.


    That is why I have never taken one long enough for it to make a difference. What's worse than walking around fat and unatractive with a held back tear that never falls hanging in the back of your mind because you just cant pin point it to cry it?


    They remove the symptom, and leave the cause.

    Eventually, all psychiatric medications top out. Meaning you eventually reach the max dose or it stops working. Then you have to start all over again on something else.

    I believe the only real purpose they serve is as a distraction. Some people can make that work... I used to dispense them, therefore I know a little too much about them to allow myself to fall into a trap.

    I suggest cognative reconstructive therapy. it truly is the only thing that works
