So I am prescribed lexapro 20 mg daily, which hasn't stopped me from being ABLE to lose weight physically but the cravings, appetite increase and binge eating has been unreal. I was never like this before the medication. I don't want to go off of it but it makes my anxiety worse when I constantly worry about gaining back the weight I worked SO hard to lose! This matter is making me miserable. Every time I eat well for a couple days I ruin it by binge eating past the point of no return for no reason and I can't stop! Does anyone know how I can manage this or stop myself so that I can finally get to my goal weight and not have to go off the medicine?
I would tell my Dr that I wanted a diff med that is similar to current med.
If she/he refuses, lol. Only as the very last resort,I would let them know that you are under their medical care and med records indicate that. Dr prescribed medication...
remember Dr works for you.
even if Dr knows that a person is gaining, oh lets say, 2 lb.'s month. golly gee that's how much within 10 years, ya.
don't give in don't give up
green leaf salads n lots of ice water keeps me feeling full as long as I'm a rabbit.
