Suggest An Anti-biotic That Helps In Anxiety, Depression And Weight Loss

Consultation
Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks very much for your question.
I'm sorry you're suffering through so much! Let me give you my thoughts about how to help.
You ask specifically about anti-anxiety and antidepressant medication that is. more effective while also limiting weight gain. I have a couple thoughts here. First, amitriptyline and sertraline should not be combined. This risks serotonin syndrome but is also bad for weight gain. I recommend discontinuing them both and simplifying the regimen with an SNRI antidepressant with very little (less than 5 pound) weight gain association called Pristiq. This will help with both pain and depression.
For anxiety, gabapentin rarely causes weight gain, but if you feel strongly about this, you can switch to an anti-anxiety medication called Atarax. This has no weight gain associated and is very effective for many people.
I hope you find this helpful. If you are having further queries , please let me know.
