In reply to big fat weight gain, posted by kerin on March 2, 2001, at 15:31:55
> I know it's better to be big and healthy than thin and miserable, but I can't take this much more. I have gained upwards of 70 pounds on my five years on Zoloft, Prozac and now Celexa. I eat right (although I'm sure too much) and excercise regularly. I'm considering quitting taking anything at all. It feels like I'm taking a damn fat pill every day!!!! My metabolism has all but shut down entirely with SSRIs. Any advice?????
Have you been checked for underactive thyroid (hypothyroid)? It's an easy enough test
and might be the reason for the weight gain. I am struggling with a
weight gain issue with Remeron, though, its only been 2.5 weeks on it.
I sympathize. You need to find the right meds for you that don't make
you feel depressed about your self image! Good luck.KarenR
