Hello, I am 46 yrs. old and my whole situation began in the year 2000 when my second child of 3 was born...post partum depression at 36 and what hell it was.  Thought I was loosing it and then panic attacks...Wow what a ride!  I had so much going on thought i would have been better off dead.  only because I never knew that any of this horrible type of thing could actually happen to me or even really existed.  (How ignorant I was) Its been many years with a diagnoses of GAD/Depression that I went from a 5'7 frame @ 128lbs to same height and now 146lbs.  At first it was worth it, the weight gain and sanity but I want to try to loose weight as always have.  I go for long FAST walks, ride my bike over a mile every 3 days and do strength training to speed my matabolism up so I burn more calories....but no results!  I do not eat excessively or the wrong things, also have the occasional glass of wine (calories..I know lol) Well after being on many different types of SSRI's & klanopin over the years....only on lexapro for last 6 years now and trying to ween myself with a dosage of 5mgs once a day, I am frustrated with the weight gain I have and wondering if going onto (NOT the generic form) Wellbutrin XL will help me to loose weight even though I dont eat much anyway?  Being 46 is another pit against me as our body slows down as we age but I am active enough that I was hoping i would benefit.  I cant even look in the mirror because i dont recognize the person in it...yuck! (My husband is very understanding so have that going for me but for personal appreciation, I feel so gross)  If anyone out there has had any similar experience or even a personal opinion....i would greatly appreciate your words.  thank you & hope to read from you soon. take care, Kelly
