Yeah- I've lost a pound or two. But here's what I've had to do: do 40-60 minutes of hard cardiovascular working out, 4 to 6 times a week-- for the past 3 years.
I think that the 40 pound weight gain I experienced on Zoloft (and have had trouble losing on Effexor XR) has been partly due to eating more... SSRIs have definitely increased my appetite. I literally dream of food, and feel hungry much of the time. I try sticking to healthy foods- but I snarf down a lot of them.
Has anyone on these meds developed any strategies for feeling satisfied without eating a lot? I'd appreciate hearing about such strategies.
