It seems like all the anti-depressants which are specifically indicated for anxiety (Paxil, Avanza, amitryptaline, imipramine) are associated with weight gain. Can anyone think of any AD's used for anxiety which do not cause weight gain?
Would [potential] weight gain be so bad so long as the meds are helping with the anxiety if that's one of the main reasons why you've been prescribed the meds in the first place? Avanza ( Mirtazapine ) does apparently increase appetite for some, which is a useful effect for those who's appetite suffers because of depression, but it may not actually affect you in that way all that much at all, and at least you can do something about that through diet and exercise if it does. Think it will largely depend on how your appetite is generally. Mine is generally good, and seems unchanged on it. You might even feel up to exercising if it helps elevate your mood and energy levels sufficiently? I think it's a case of what's the least worst option Suessmayr.
