I also gained weight on antidepressants (Celexa). I was only on for 6 months (had to stop because weight gain was making me more depressed!).

I know how you feel though.....when I was depressed I was miserable, when I went on Celexa, my mood was better but I gained weight. I finally reached a point where the Celexa was not needed (my depression was job-related and I'm done here in 5 weeks!) and I could concentrate on losing the weight.

Be sure and continue your meds until you can talk to your doctor....if you need to find one that's enlightened about the LC WOL then do that!

Hang in there!
