I gained 40 lbs during chemo, also. I am very sensitive to the decadron.
After I stopped chemo the first time (I was still on Herceptin) I regained some energy and started walking. My appetite also reduced after I stopped taking the decadron. I probably lost about 15 lbs, but then had to start chemo again and I have gained the 15 lbs back. I hope you regain your energy soon. I had to start out small with the exercise, but I definately don't feel like walking during chemo. I do not take Arimidex or Celexa, but I do take Lexapro as an antidepressant.
