which anti-depressant to choose?

I've relapsed into an eating disorder (which I'd been over for 7 years) and I'm confused now. I've been taking anti-depressants since January, and I'm having a hard time finding the right one for me. I started on celexa, which made me sick. Then I had effexor, which isn't any better and now I am coming off that and the doctor has given me the choice of either trying celexa again, or trying prozac. I know that prozac has had good results for ED but there's one thing that scares me. I don't want to swell up the way some people do on some medication. You know, when you retain so much fluid you get the so-called Cushing syndrome? WHen I mentioned this to the shrink, he laughed about it, and when I asked my GP she said she'd never seen it happen but she couldn't guarantee it.

Can anybody help me out?
