All about Lexapro

I was on Paxil for 7 years and slowly gained 15 lbs. I came off, and
lost it all in 4 months, again sort of slowly. Sex drive was back
too. But depression and anxiety became a problem again, so I decided
to try Lexapro. Good results for depression and anxiety, but again,
right back to 15-20 lbs. weight gain and decreased sex drive.
I heard about Wellbutrin, so I quit Lexapro and tried that. Well, it
was terrible. So now I feel like I need an SSRI and Lexapro works
well, but I want some help combatting the weight gain and sexual
side effects, in that order.
If I take the Wellbutrin with the Lexapro–will that help? What
about the Omega 3 and Vitamin E pills–has anyone done that?
I realize that I must eat better and excercise more. But when you
change nothing and gain weight and it goes right along with the
meds, you know they are contributing. I just want a little boost to
combat these side effects.
Anyone had success combatting weight gain on Lexapro by adding
Wellbutrin?
Thanks
