No shame.....antidepressant meds

. He also explained that welbutrin helps suppress appetite, but not to go below 1,000 calories a day, as the combination may cause seizures.

Seriously? My doctor put me on Welbutrin because I told him I would prefer something that didn't cause a lot of weight gain, since I had lost a bunch before I went to see him, but he never mentioned that. I am going to have to make a phone call and do some research.

I was on celexa for five months and just yesterday switched over to prozac because i was exhausted all of the time and it corresponded to when i went up to 40mg. Anti-depressants helped me to actually get out of bed and actually go to the gym. I find that going to the gym really helps with my depression and regulating my moods.

Anorexia and bulimia a lot of the time are comorbid with depression and that may be why doctors will prescribe an anti depressant for them.

i'm on citalopram 40mg, i dont think its hindering my weight loss, the only thing is it makes me a bit sleepy which makes it harder to get motivated to work out, but better than the complete mess i am when i'm not on it!!

I was on Prozac for about 2 months and had an AWFUL experience with it. I'm pretty sure I gained weight on it and it changed me completely. I also had a traumatic experience with withdrawal effects after I stopped taking it.

I'm now on Wellbutrin and it suppresses my appetite a lot and I believe it is helping, not hurting, my weight loss.
