"Thanks to Celexa, I gained 100 lbs in less than 11 months," noted a woman named Lynn.
“My doctor just kept on increasing the dose (100mg per day), and my stupid mistake I trusted my doctor!! I informed my doctor on first visit that I had a history of binge eating.”
“What’s even more discouraging is I informed my doctor that I had gained 30 pounds in 6 weeks.
“He says, ‘Oh ok, let’s add Topamax to help.’
“Topamax helped me forget everything, and Celexa increased my cravings.
“Male doctors think oh well weight gain, whatever the patient is happier. Maybe it was because I was eating myself to oblivion (carbs increase serotonin). I think female doctors are the ones to truly understand and empathize.
“Now I will forever have scars and stretch marks everywhere on my body due to this drug.
“This is a toxic drug. It should be banned.
“Fortunately, I changed physicians and changed my medicine and have lost the 60lbs!”

Took 20 mgs. of Celexa for four months. Gained 15 pounds. Went off cold turkey and have been off as long as I was on. Can't seem to shed the pounds. Haven't changed any of my other habits eating, etc. HELP!
