Weight gain antidepressants please read

[Guest guest]

I wanted to tell everyone that I went into my gyno doctor last week. He was not

happy with the 40 pounds I have put on. He was very worried about my CMT and

the weight gain. He asked me why I had gained so much weight considering I was

4 1/2 months pregnant and 114 pounds when he first met me. I told him I really

didn't know why but that I was on Synthroid and Celexa.

I had started gaining weight on Paxil so I was changed to Celexa. He was pretty

upset that any doctor would put someone with CMT on a drug that is known to

cause weight gain. He changed me to Wellburtrin XL. (Wellburtrin does not have

a weight gaining side effect.) He also prescribed an appetite suppressant for me

to take for a few months. He wanted me to get this weight off as soon as

possible for my feet.

So if any of you have had weight gain on an antidepressant I suggest you google

weight gain and the name of your antidepressant and talk to your doctor.

I have lost 7 pounds and feel so much better. 28 pounds to go before I am at my

goal of 130 pounds. You can check you body mass index on this site.
