That is a tough one. Maybe ask your dr if there is an alternative drug that doesn't cause weight gain that you can try. My best to you. It is difficult when your medication is working for you.

I had the same problem back a number of years ago. I was taking prescription meds for depression that caused me to gain a lot of weight. My situation was that the medication I was prescribed was working against my thyroid medication and worsening my depression instead of improving it. I stopped taking it after telling my dr. what was happening. I am not having the depression symptoms anymore, but now I can't seem to lose the weight I'd gained. I wouldn't suggest stopping your medication without talking to your dr, but tell him your concerns and see if there are alternative treatments. I don't know what you're taking. Doesn't matter. This just seems like it is bothering you.

I did stop the anti-depression medi with drs help but the weight is still on. And it doesn't seem to budge with all the old things I used to do to lose weight. I'm going through all my other medis to see if they put on weight. oh Abilify!!!!

I am still trying to lose the weight that I gained. Before I started taking the antidepressants, mood stabilizers, etc. I weighed 120 lbs. now I weight over 200. I'm not trying to discourage you, but I have found that it is really difficult to lose the weight gained from those meds. Nevertheless, I am trying to keep up the exercise that I am able to do because of back problems and watch what I eat. I have also noticed that my blood sugar levels have started to stay above normal although I am not on any diabetic meds. My dr told me that it was because of my thyroid levels being off the wall. Just don't give up and remember you have your support group to turn to.

I weight 234 lbs, way too much for a 5' 2" lady.
It bogs me down, depresses me. AND it always surprises me when I look in the mirror.
I need to lose weight soon as I am pre-diabetic and unless I lose 30 lbs my doctor said I will be diabetic.
Also am getting married soon and would like to wear an outfit that doesn't fit now.
Enough reasons to remove those excess pounds but not one pound since I have been on this site. I do take an exercise class twice a week and have cut portion sizes and fried foods.
I no longer take the offending medis.
HELP! Any suggestions appreciated.

I am the result of weight gain from drugs and insulin. it took going on this program I described in my post. 57 yrs old and 237 I felt like my life was over. I was wrong.
A great hint is drink 12 glasses of water a day take Metamucil or Benefil or Selium in its natural state from a whole foods store, 4 times a day when you eat start with 1/2 a tsp at a time and work up to 1 tsp at a time. It helps with cholesterol, blood sugars and hunger wish someone had told me earlier about it. The water is vital or you will end up constipated ugh! Cutting sugar and salt out of diet helps with the fluid retentiion and blood pressures too. a way of getting off those meds.

hope I did not over step anything.

Good luck and much love.
