2 problems

[crappycakes]

First, I quit taking Welbutrin because it is no longer benefititing me, I was wondering if anyone can reccomend an anti depressent that does not cause weight gain or anxiety.

Also, I take Ambien. It is the only sleeping pill that works for me. The side effect is this: After I take it I have no will power. I eat fattening foods, it is like drinking alcohol...all inhibitions are gone. I will do great on my diet all day and after I take the pill I start eating. I can't quit taking it or I won't sleep at night. I have tried everything like having my boyfriend hide his sweets. (I don't buy them he does) Any suggestions

Thanks
Tammy

Could try only taking the pill after you get into bed. Make you protien supplement into a pudding mix (add much much less water/milk than normal), and eat that. Eat some nuts, or even fruits if you want a kick. I pick at dried friuts at night - dried dates, apricots, mixed dry fruit - try them.

have you tried any natural supplements for the anxiety? 5-HTP, Tryptophan, etc??? These may interact with your ambien though...ever try to come off the ambien?
