I've been on celexa for a little over a year now, and put on 15lbs. I've been able to not put on any more, but now I'd like to take of some of the weight I've put on. Any suggestions?

I too have played the anti-depressant weight-gain thing...it takes work, but there are ways to lessen the weight-gain. First of all, try to cut back on salt/sodium intake (for some reason the SSRIs can make you very bloated, and try to avoid foods with alot of preservatives. I also take Omega Plus 3-6-9 (a fish oil) which seems to help too...and makes me feel better! I don't know the science behind it all...just trying alot of different things. Good luck!
