I have severe anxiety and about a month ago my family doc switched my lexapro to prozac. Not a good outcome. I ended up in the ER this past weekend with a panic attack. So I have xanax and lexapro now. I read that xanax causes weight gain and I know lexapro caused a little in me. I am so stressed!

Take some counseling, learn to meditate or do yoga, take at least 30 minutes of the day for you no matter what…..Find out who you are and learn to chill out, learn self disicpline, and learn to cut your stress way down. Stay away from all the drugs, they are not natural and not good for you. Find someone to help you, engergy psychology is very helpful and you can find licensed counselors who specialize in this. Next, tell your doctor you want to be weaned of the medications. Last, be a happy, relaxed person because of you, side-effect and extension free.

Klonopin maybe, ask your doctor but the generic form is Clonazepam. Its a benzodiazepine just like alprazolam or xanax and my sister used to take it for anxiety related to OCD so im just suggesting you ask about it. I dont think it causes weight gain like xanax is known to.
