In reply to Anyone seen an endocrinologist for AD weight gain?, posted by Otherworldly on April 1, 2003, at 15:00:36
As a reader of Psycho Babble and occassional "poster" for the last several years, this by far has been one of the most interesting posts to me. I have tried different ad's and have gained about 50 lbs in the past 4 years. It is so sad that we all have to have such a crappy side effect in order to be happy. It is almost comforting although sad to me, that I'm not the only one who suffers from this. I have just quit taking Lexapro (the one that wasn't supposed to make you gain), and am praying I can begin to lose weight. I agree with everyone of you guys that said your metabolism has been affected. I have gained 30 lbs in the last year alone. THAT makes me even more depressed. I'll pray for all of us to be happy and med-free one day! Good luck to all!
