Yes I am. My doc put me on this specifically because my sertraline is messing with my hormones so badly that my body is holding on to everything it can. When I’m not on it, my body goes back to normal very quickly but the depression is too severe to stop treatment. He’s advised me to slowly lower my doe until I’m at half…

I’ve been taking orlistat for about a week now as an addition to my sertraline to try to stop the weight gain. I have been more constipated now than ever and after reading these stories I’m not taking any more. I follow a mostly plant based diet and have been instructed to keep my intake below 1700 calories.

I hate how everyone I work with can do…

I see my dr regularly. I've been medicated for years and tried them all. I wish they could just cure it instead of treating it.

I enjoy alone time too. But I don't enjoy doing things or going places. If I could just lay in bed forever I would.

Yes and yes

I have severe clinical depression. The most I can get myself to do is like 10 minutes a day and that won't give me visible results. I need advice other than food journaling and the other usual things. Anyone have any unconventional methods of motivating/pushing through? Really desperate.
