I'm gaining a ton of weight on Celexa! What do I do?

I don't think my doctor knows very much about this drug to be honest. I just have a feeling and I don't know that I can simply trust her opinion.

Celexa has been a miracle to me. But it's making me fat. In 3-4 months I've gained 15 pounds. I haven't tried to exercise but if I'm not eating in excess I can't see how it would really make a difference. I don't want to have to kill myself working out to keep my weight down

Celexa has helped me with my social anxiety to the point where I am now very outgoing! I've never been so confident and outgoing until I started taking this. also it has helped with my obsessive worrying and over thinking. Also depression.

I worry about going back to that state of mind. Would switching to another antidepressant help?
Does anyone here have experience with this?

I'm also taking Celexa and it has helped me very much too! I've actually lost 6 pounds since starting Celexa though. Not gaining any weight. You should talk to your doctor about that.
