Anxiety Meds

Hey all,

As some of you know, I've had great success with my anxiety/depression with Effexor. However, I'm gaining weight that I shouldn't be and some people at my work that have taken it have also said they gained so much weight they had to switch meds.

anyway, I'm just looking into it and one lady said Lexapro is similar to Effexor and she lost the weight she had gained on Effexor.

anyone have any experience with weight gain on Effexor or Lexapro?

Anyone used both?

If you could share I'd appreciate it. I guess lexapro and Effexor are both in the same class of SSRI's so I think I want to stay in that category.

Thanks,

Jenn

Do you feel your depression is related to Celiac disease?

I take Lexapro and have had no issues with weight gain. My dr prescribed this over other SSRIs b/c it is supposed to be very weight neutral.

Lexapro did not stop me from losing weight. It did help me to sleep better, so I had more energy during the day. I think more energy without eating more translated into weightloss for me.

Thanks, all. I think I will try Lexapro.

To whomever asked, yes my anxiety/depression is related to Celiac. I never suffered from it until going gluten free...weird, huh?

      No they did not run a total IGA. But wouldn’t the DPG-IGA also be negative also if I was IGA deficient? They did also run a TTG-IGG and a DPG-IGG and they were also negative.

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      The DGP-IGA is valuable when celiac is suspected but the person being tested is IGA deficient. Were you tested for IGA deficiency. In other words, was there a test known as "Total IGA" ordered? Here is an overview of the various blood tests that can be run when diagnosing celiac disease:

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      From the article I linked above: DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG (Deamidated Gliadin Peptide) Blood Tests for Celiac Disease These tests measure the levels of antibodies in the blood, but specifically targets deamidated gliadin peptides, which are a type of gluten protein that can trigger an immune response in people with celiac disease. The test is not always included in adults, but should be in cases with IgA deficiency.  I'm not sure if this is a grammatical error or not but in the context, two tests are being spoken of together so it could be intended to say, "These tests". I'll ask Scott about that.
