It seems to be you are in starvation mode. Low calories and extensive training can shout down your thyroid function. Increase calories, stop counting them, add more fat and check your thyroid.
BTW How tall you are? Your weight? Daily Macros?
My daily macros are 20% carbs, 40% fat, and 40% protein. I have had blood work done, I have no thyroid problems. I am 5ft8, and a whopping 189lbs.0 -
Buy a scale and start weighing everything that you eat. Use the measuring cup for liquids if that is what it was designed for.2

This is most likely your problem.

I would suggest add healthy fat to 60% and decrease protein to 20%. Try it for a week to see how it goes and how you feel. Don't weight your food and don't count calories. You are stressed enough already

I have been a gym rat since 19, only having trouble losing weight while on the two drugs.
The most frustrating thing is dealing with this alone. Again, is there anyone going through what I am going through? Please contact me. How did you restore your metabolism and drop weight?
Look, I reread your post more carefully. Don't worry first of all. It seems like you are stressing too much about it. You are not alone at this situation. I've gained some weight for last half a year. Despite me being on keto diet and heavy lifting 3 times per week. What you read about other ppl doesn't matter. Everybody is different in small details. Calm down and start learning. Experiment with your body and eliminate one by one every reason that sabotages your goal reaching.
Well anything over 1200 calories makes me gain like crazy. 1000-1100 is my maintenance caloric intake. I had my body fat measured by a nutritionist and I am suppose to eat 1500-1800 for maintenance. I learned the hard way that eating that much makes me gain. I have tried plexus slim, thermogenics, meal replacements, heavy weigh lifting, alli, and not eating for a few days. No results. Not an ounce lost.0 -

Right now 800 to 1000 is my weekly average. Some days I eat 500, then one day I eat 1800. Each day varies but I watch my weekly averages for macros and cals0 -

It's not looking like you're going to take any of the good advice that we gave you.
Maybe someone who has "fixed their metabolism" from the apparent extreme metabolic slowdown that the antidepressants gave you will let you know how they did it.
Until then, see a doctor as you're absolutely sure that you eat so few calories.0 -

Basically looking for people who have gone through this like stated in the title. Seeing what they did to get through it. I am searching posts and messaging them. I mean I am not really sure what you want me to tell you. I am simply telling you my case and the list of things that haven't worked. I mean I have been at this for a year so I have tried quite a few things. That's why I was hoping to be contacted by someone who understood. Who went through it. But I will get the food scale to make sure everything is right.1 -

Good! I'm glad you're getting a food scale. Some people can lose just fine by eyeballing and others cannot eyeball things. That's a good first step.
Give the food scale a try. Weigh everything and log everything- including drinks. They can add up to be a lot. Stick to a reasonable calorie goal set up by MFP. Do that for a few weeks and evaluate from there.

I've been on a slew of different anti-depressants and didn't notice weight gain or metabolism changes with any of them. I like Wellbutrin the best. It's a little speedy, which helps motivate me to move more.
I was in the military and went through some of the same things - I lost a ton of weight in boot camp and gained it all back. I was in the "Chunky Chicken" program. That focused on exercise and I did lose weight. I did stupid things to make weigh ins the week or so before rather than focusing on my weight the other 51 weeks of the year.
One thing you haven't mentioned is drinking - a lot of my weight issues in the military were alcohol related. If you drink, how much?
What weight do you need to be for the military to be happy with you?0 -
I had this problem --couldn't figure out why nothing seemed to work-- until I got a food scale. Then everything fell into place. For me, it really was as simple as that. I hope it is for you, too.
ETA: good point about drinking above. It all counts, so count it all.1 -
You seem 100% set on blaming the medication, even though multiple people have pointed out that the medication itself does not cause weight gain. Until you realize it is NOT the medication, there is very little anyone can say that can help you.
You do not weigh your food, therefore you are certainly eating more than you think. Outside a medical issue, if you are no losing weight, you are not in a calorie deficit.1 -
How tall are you , how much do you weigh- also have you tried eating only protein & veggies with NO processed foods?0
-
I was on antidepressants. ...before them I lost my appetite and when I regained it of course I put on a little....why did I gain because I ate too much....NOT because of the pills. Anti depressants are not for serious mental illness like phycosis if you require anti psychotics you need to see your doctor.0

These drugs possibly increase appetite which can lead to weight gain. I did a search of peer reviewed studies and found many that suggest this, especially when the person had a reduced appetite due to their depression. I also tried to find these Harvard studies you mention, but could not find them. Do you have a link to the peer reviewed article written for the study?
You do need to eat more if you are indeed eating as low as you are saying. I will repeat what everyone else is saying. Make sure you are logging accurately. If this is indeed the case, you need to speak with your doctor.
