medicines?
I am so glad to see the group finally get active! I have a question…is anyone
taking medication(s) having trouble loosing the weight? I have been so
disappointed that in about 8 weeks I am still only down 10 lb!!! I am still
sticking to it, and am thankful for the 10 I lost…but feel like giving up!
The only thing I can think of that is hindering me is that I am on Lexapro
(antidepressant). I tried to break it in half to see if I could handle
life…but I have too much anxiety without it so I went back to my regular
strength. I still have 35 lb I want to loose and I am starting to think it is
impossible

Weight gain is a possible side effect of Lexapro. Have you considered asking your doctor if you could try a different antidepressant?

Interesting reading the comments about Weight Gain and Lexapro, my
doctor recommended Lexapro because the weight gain effect is
minamal. I have tried Many Anti Depressents with no to limited
success, I have to be very careful that they don’t trigger a manic
episode. I am also taking Lamictal.
I am reading a book to help deal with my moods, and my overeating
disorder.
Hope things are on track. First and foremost take good care of your
self, your depression, and the weight loss will follow.
