I have bad HA,GADs/Depression ,I tried lexapro ,it drove my anxiety up the wall at 10 mg , then Dr put me on 20 mg ,my stomach was very ill ,only was able to take it 2.5 weeks ,then went to gen paxil,which is what i'm on now,i'm eating like a horse & have gained weight ,my dr told me watch what i eat & join exercise class....yea right,never had this prob before & i'm broke due to having to quit my job becuz of my HA .,my anxiety,even with 40 mg is crazy,but much better ,I could live with that,but gaining weight is depressing & don't want to increase the dose...:( . I was thinking about trying effexor XR ,I read(I know....my mistake) that effexor can make you nervous which my leg already shakes,lol but don't want to be sleepy either,also heard the effexor is good with weight...,my question is what's the best anti depressent for HA without all the side effects that others have experienced .? Please help ,my dr sayes I can change if I choose ,but i'm nervous about changing don't want to get back to where I was. Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee helpppppppppppppppppppppp! Thx,Chris
