what supposedly causes this to happen... does the medication affect your thyroid function? how does it affect your metabolism? and is there anything that will assist in regaining proper function?
for me, weight gain is an intolerable side effect as the main effect of depression for me is to put on weight and then be filled with self-hate and shame.... and on and on... i've had every eating disorder recorded and a few they probably haven't given names to yet... :(
i've also been involved in many sports activities and work out alot when not involved in a major depression... i need this to survive - it's one of the only good coping mechanisms i have
i'm rambling but have been trying to get myself to write to this forum for months now - to reply to various posts as well as plea for my pain
thanks for reading this far...
