Ok so after being on Sert , Mirtazipne , Venlafaxine - ( really bad side effect so had to go from 225mg to 0 in 1 day !! ) Im now on 40mg Citalopram- However I have put on about 6lb , i watch my weight as lost 2.5st recently. I am aware ive been eating more , but dunno why - ? Does anyone else crave carbs - i never norm eat bread ( literally buy 1 loaf PM and keep in freezer ) Ive been buying so much , and stuff like pizza , and pasta dishes - lasagne especially. Normally im not fussed on Lunch or dinner but now its all i think about - Its weird as dont feel much happier as such or less anxious - there have been good days tho Sorrynot explained well xx
i,ve been on 40mg for 5 years no weight gain please go back to your Dr
hope all goes well for you
Thank you , I have GP next Thursday , but i feel that all i keep doing is changing tabs , and hes gonna get fed up with it. The Ven were quite good but i ended up with a bruising side effect ( very rare grr ) over 50 bruises in less than 2 days all over body so had to stop immeditly . Thing is once i gain even a 1lb its contstantly on my mind in an obsessive way. so for a big gain this is huge for me , even crossed my mind to ' get it out my body ( the food )' but one of my friends did this and was so ill i dont want to go thro that . I feel like i want to just stay away and have some time to myself off work but i also want to be with my friends at certain times. my brain is like a yoyo !!
All sounds like normal, side effects to me, and will ease off as you get use to the cit
