K, right now I am on Savella and Armour Thyroid... and since then I have been gaining weight!! Both prescriptions state that I would actually loose weight.... has anyone had this problem.
Plus, since winter I have gained at least 18lbs... Its seems that when I feel better I get fat and when I feel like crap I loose all this weight!!
I don't know what going on... anyone have the same problems... words of advice.

" sarbear, I'm not taking the Savella, but I do take Armour Thyroid. The antidepressant I'm on is Celexa. But to be honest with you, if there's any reason to gain weight, I do and thyroid problems can do that to you, unless you're hyperthyroid. I also have parathyroid problems and kidney cysts. Thyroid problems are the worse! Before I started taking Armour I was on Levothroid. Had weight issues then also. Not very encouraging, I'm sorry. "

" I've packed on the pounds over the last 10 years because of meds, poor diet, and no activiy. I was talking to one of the ladies in the health food store I go to (I'm trying to become more alkaline and less acid) She said that helped her to loose weight and improved health. There are some post called fluff on this board and they are encouraging people to help loose weight. "
