"i have used asendin-amoxapine for at least 20 years off and on. after my last hospitalization for 7 months, i had been on mirtazapine which i and many others gained 30 lbs from and unable to get it off.  so i am again on amoxapine and doing well and starting to lose weight finally.  it helps a great deal with anxiety, social ability and the feeling of being overwhelmed.  great medicine.  i sometimes fear i wont be able to get it."
