Why is gaining weight the like one of the worst things that could ever happen to you, I say if your medication is working thats more important than gaining a little weight, dont worry about it, television and society has made you people more concerned about your weight than you should be, now of course when you get to a certain point being overweight can be unhealthy but anyway you get my point, before you quit your medication or mess with your dose just make your best effort to eat healthy and less and exercise a little because it just seems really silly how people react to gaining 10 pounds, or even sexual side effects or whatever, i have havent been able to find a antidepressant that works for me, and if i did i would gladly accept gaining weight or never being able to have sex again, because chances of finding a perfect med. with zero side effects are slim to none and being thin or having sex is not as important as living life, i dont want to offend anyone by this, this is just my personal thought on the matter right now, if it was + or -
a few years or if i was in a similar situation as you i might think different so feel free to totally disregard this post
