Medication problems

[Lulu78]

Hi ALl ive been medicated for the last 5 years for major depressive disorder, never had much luck in finding one that works for me. My latest cocktail consists of 2 meds one which was added more recently and has caused me to gain 7kg, my weight has always played a massive role in my mental health, ive had body image issues from as a young girl and my life has revolved around on trying to always be skinnier than i was last week, i know this may silly to som but it has always played a big role on determining my state of mind and happiness sadly 😿... i cant stay on this medication any longer as the fear of continuing to keep gaining weight scares the living hell out of me. Anyone had any experience with this? Im seeing my gp Monday so was going to mention it but would luv to hear anyones thoughts.

thank u all kindly 🙏

lulu,

I am sorry you are having problems with medication.

I had a problem with putting on weight when on medication but for me I accepted that because the medication was working'.

I wonder despite the weight gain and I know that is very important , is the medication helping you.?

Hi Lulu i to was on an antidepressant that caused wait gain.I put on over 20kgs as it gave me cravings for junk food.I had to go off that one as the weight gain was causing me other medical problems.You are doing the right thing by talking to your GP about it.

Take care,

Mark.
