you might want to open your diary and tell us a bit about your current lifestyle, what exercise you do etc then people might be able to give you some pointers...

What antidepressant were you on and how much? That makes a big difference to what can be done....... I have been on ALL of them and I can tell you they are all nightmares in their own way. You can message me if you don't want to tell the world or just reply. I can probably help. Also did you quit cold turkey or did you slowly go off of the med?

I am currently weaning off of Citalopram 20 down to 10 mg a day. I am eating my calorie allowance and exercising for 30 min at least 3 times a week. I stopped stuffing my face and drinking lots of alcohol. The weight is going...

I am getting off Effexor XR... NEVER USE THAT CRAP... its HORRIBLE. I was convulsing by day 3 cold turkey... and that was on accident!

MAD PROPS FOR GETTING OFF IT.
