Hi everyone ! I suffer from depression and anxiety from a car crash number years ago where i received burns on my face and hands I found it real hard until i seeked Help, ive been on lustral since 2010 I find my life manageable since then my problem is I am 35 pounds over weight my diet is not bad I work out 3 times a week but unable to lose weight I heard that (SSRI) group like lustral can have a person gain weight,
My next question is -what should i take instead of the SSRI Class.
Oh my, I have been on Sertraline for months and between that and recovering from spinal surgery, I have put on 50 lbs 😱. I thought it must be me overeating but I don't eat much at all and what I do eat is fruit, lactose free products,veg and meat. My OH has the same problem but we have no idea what causes it. Massive bloating is the worst problem after weight gain. I have recently changed to Prozac and it is working well on my depression but I think it's just as bad when looking to lose weight. I have gone from 10 st to 14 st ( 140lbs to 196lbs) and it isn't helping my replacement knees or my back surgery results.
Any ideas that could help please?
We seem to share similar problems, Martin and it will be interesting to see if anyone can help us.
