Hi, I'm new here

[Guest guest]

I was hoping someone could help me. I suffer from depression and have

been on Paxil off and on. I was given Lexarp a year ago and only took

it for 2 weeks, it made me tired but not sad. I stopped taking it

after the 2 weeks. Everytime I think of being on a med for depression

I become so afraid. I know what it's like getting off of them. I

gained 20lbs on Paxil. Since part of my depression is based on how

fat and ugly I feel that doesn't help me. I will tell you I was very

happy with Paxil except for the weight which is why I got off in the

1st place. I am starting to get sick again and was thinking of giving

Lexapro a chance but, of course I'm afraid of the weight gain. When I

start taking a med I always think of when I will be getting off. What

I am trying to ask you guys is do you think I should stay away from

the drug and just go on like this. Please someone help me.
