I have been on PTU (4 tabs daily) for 8 weeks and I have gained 20 pounds. Mostly on my belly, its like i have a beer belly. I don't drink beer. I have actually made a conscious effort to be careful with what I eat more so than before. I eat healthy, no pop, don't drink, vegetables, the whole bit... I don't exercise thought. But still, nothing to warrant a 20 pound weight gain. My question is, is it normal to gain that much weight and this mutated version of my stomach. On a side note it coincided that I quit Prozac 8 weeks ago too.(20mg)
I think my signs are pointing towards having hypo now...I have night sweats, hot flashes, irretability, I feel very fatigued.
Would quitting Prozac after 4 years also increase my chances to gaining so much weight?
I don't think my 'beer' belly is normal? Its huge
any ideas are appreciated
