Why don't SSRI's work on me anymore? And Tricyclic's do. It's annoying
because now I'm gaining weight exponentially. Which SSRI's did not do.
Do I simply give up eating. My appetite hasn't changed, but I'm
getting fatter again.

I've taken both an SSRI and a tricyclic antidepressant. Even some SSRI's
put on weight, like Paxil, but yes, you're right about the weight gain in
spite of eating the same way you've always done. If it's any help, in my
case, I reached a plateau then the weight gain stopped. It's not my ideal
weight, but the trade-off is worth it for me, because I need the sedative
effect of a tricyclic (Doxepin, in my case). Nanny

My SSRI still works for me but then again, I've only been on the lexapro
about a year. I hope it continues to work. I have taken the older Tricyclics
and they work too. My biggest problem with taking them is the awful
constipation they bring.
