Hi Dansmi,

Good to see you. Even though, we always meet to talk about sickness.....but, hey.....that's the nature of our meeting, isn't it? ;)

Historically, when anything is stressing me out I would always lose weight. Most people, I hear, do the opposite and put on the weight. Depression itself can make most want to go do the "comfort food" routine and just pig out. But, you and I aren' t like that it seems.

However, I can attest to the fact of antidepressants just loading up the pounds around my house. My wife was on Effexor for 5 years and she gained 50 pounds! Btw, the docs should've taken her off of it after no more than 2 years. Funny, how they had no reaction to us reminding them about this fact from the makers of the drug......long after she'd done the 'damage'.

I do know, the with GERD suffering, one can't eat too much anyway.....which adds to your problem, I'm sure.

Hope you find the correct path to wellness soon Dansmi.
