Anyone Experience Weight Gain On Imipramine?v.s. Prozac?etc.

I have been on many SSRI's, SNRI's, Anti-psychotics etc....all of my life. I will be 55yrs old, and even after both my preganancies had post partum depression severly. On my second preganancy when doctor found out I was preganant decided to switch me from valium right away, to 10mg of imipramine daily, so would not get the depression as bad as did with my 1st pregnancy. I have been battling with it most of my life ever since the birth of my children. I developed sever panic attacks at the age of 28yrs after a severe and drastic hysterectomy. With bowel, bladder, vaginal reconstruction. I became post-menopausal right away. Put me on Prozac of 20-40mg with Ativan than switched me to clonazapam. It has been a real struggle and would like to find out all your experiences, so maybe I can find something that will work. I am now off of Prozac and clonazpam, and on Imipramine 75mg, Latuda 40mg, Ativan 2mg all taken at night starting tonight. I am so terrified. Hopefully get lots of feed back from this forum. Thanks 2 all God Bless:) Mia Italia

Hello, Mia! How are you? I'm sorry about everything you've been through.

Both Latuda and Imipramine have been known to cause weight gain, as reported by the FDA. You may also experience nausea, tremors, dry mouth, dizziness and headache.

The FDA also warns that Ativan carries the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability.

However, that doesn't mean you will gain weight, it can vary from person to person, the only way to find out is by trying the medications to see how they work for you.

Is there anything else I can help with?
