I was on sertraline before, went out a while back, and def. need to start something again. Went to dr, he prescribed Cymbalta which the insurance didn't cover, so got Prozac instead. REading on prozac this doesn't sound like the one for me. I am scard to start anything again, even tho the sertraline made me feel me again.

Any words of encouragement? The dr said zoloft would make me gain weight. Last time I didn't, I maintained. I am 5'4", 168 lbs, so yes I do need to loose, but I don't want to be a zombie either on prozac.

Can anybody tell me good things about sertraline? I know that sounds stupid as I have been on it, but again I am a chicken. I read that antidepressents can sometimes be fatal. That is why I haven't started anything again, but I do take .12.5 of xanax x 2 a day...
