Im finally getting happy, but now im getting FAT!!

[keepsmiling777]

Hi this is my first time on one of these. but i am hopeless and frustrated.  I have never been the same mentally and emotionally and physically after i had my daughter. never had a head ache and now i am a human pharmacy!!! i take adderall every day for my adhd, atavan for my anxiety when ever it pops up, a mix of sleeping pills ( trazadone, ambien and lunesta) because my body get ammune if i take the same one three nights in a row. Not to mention a high dose ibprophen and tylenol for my tention head aches and unbearable  lower back pain. I feel like a freakin hypocondriact!!!! As well as an antidepressant for my depression and anxiety that i got on after my husband decided he wanted a divorce because a marriage and a family was to much responsibility for him and he just wanted to be a batchelor again.and paying child support and allimoney was easier.Anyways, i never took pills or even had a doctor  before i had my daughter. She is my world and i would never take it back bringing her into this world. Its just now i feel like a different person. and i cant get back to my happy healthy energetic full of life person i was before. and its killing me slowley. but i have worked so hard to accept and adapt to my new self and life and never give up trying to get over all this and living my life,and not being just always stuck in my head and my own issues
.     So, in doing just that....... I am getting married on july 15 !!  and i am so excited. i got on an antidepressant that finally seemed to be working and i have been doing alot better with my anxiety and depression untill i started relising that i have slowley been putting on weight and now i am 15 pounds heavier now. im a short and pretty thin so this is devistating me with my wedding around the corner. i cant even fit into my dress!!
       So now i need to change my antidepressant A.S.A.P  and i need some help as to what one does not  make you gain weight so i have time to see if it works for me.  Im just hopless because i finally found one that works but not really because i cant stop gaining weight! and i dont gain wi=eight  easily. please anyone.  I just feel so alone in all this mess. IM SORRY THIS IS SO LONG. I JUST HAVE NEVER VENTED LIKE THIS ABOUT MY MESS. I NEED A FRIEND WHO GETS WHAT IM SAYING SO I DONT JUST FEEL LIKE A DRAMA WHINEY QUEEN.

I will be off paxil two weeks on thursday and im still not even losing one pound. Im useing a glider wer have daily and eating weightwatcher foods but still am not losing. Any suggestions on what I can do????

[Paxiled]

Stay away from effexor -- lots of problems.  The thing is, every ssri and snri can cause weight gain.  So do many antidepressants and antipsychotics.  It depends on the person.  So there's no way to predict how any drug will affect you.

In had a lot of problems and Zoloft helped me a lot but I got to fat to look at my self any more.  I quit taking it I have lost a few lbs but I slit my wrist a few days ago my boyfriend found me and took me to ER.  I told them I did not want to kill myself just cut ant the sent me home with a few .5mg atavan.
Wellbutrin I have been on and it helps youto loose weight but it well for me only works for depression not OCD or anxiety.
I hope you can get help

Well, first of all, your not alone. I have a couple of your problems, and several other issues. Have you tryed Effexor for depression? I have heard nothing but good about that anti-depressant and that it also does not cause weight gain. I take Zoloft..so far it ***** for me, but everybody is different...I have not gained any weight taking it tho. I quit taking my drugs about 6 days ago, and since then I have gained 3 lbs ...and I too, am a short skinny, thin pretty girl (so i've been told lol) Sorry to hear your husband was such a douch!! Thank God your out of his life, do you think maybe because of what he said and did to you, that, that infact, might be the cause of some of your problems??  I also take sleeping pills, I just got a new one prescribed today actually, Elevel, I have not takin it yet, so I can't tell you how it's personally effected me, but I have heard that it works. You say your skinny, but that you have gained 15 lbs due to the anti-depressants...ok I know ive already said something about this, but trust me, Im concerned for you...I've had a eating disorder for years and I have done something that caused me to not only lose the weight, but not gain anymore...and no, it's not puking. I want to tell you, but I don't want anybody else to read it lol....I know, I will send you a msg to your inbox. Everybodys got to vent at some point, other wise this world would be nothing more then a huge human combustion just waiting to explode...so don't worry about that, I'd just srug that and the thought that you are a drama queen. Welp, I hope you lose your weight, and you are able to find an anti depressant that don't cause you weight gain....I hope I hear back from you...Melody (ps. Don't forget to check your inbox)
