Hello everyone.
I am on epilim, which is an epileptic drug which makes you gain weight.
Does anyone know what I could do to lose weight? I am really struggling.
Kind regards!

    Patience! :]
    Eat at a calorie deficit, move more and hang in there. If you are really struggling despite logging everything and weighing accurately, I'd speak to your doctor - they may be able to assist you further. I have no experience with getting past the awkwardness that medication causes for weight loss but I can only advice you to keep strong and continue doing what you're doing. You're doing the right thing.

    Good luck!

    I started dieting because my husband changed meds and gained 25 lbs in 2 month, which he's lost, and I decided to support him. We are still following his diet. I once gained and lost 60 lbs due to meds. It's not fun.
