Seems like there are a lot of us struggling with weight issues out there...including me and my extra 20 pounds, due to being depressed so much of the last few years. When I was on Prozac before I could loose weight when I tried, but this time I actually keep gaining, maybe because of the Serzone. I've been working out like mad and eating properly - the pounds keep coming.
I'm starting Neurontin this week at 300 mgs, in addition to my 10 mgs of Prozac and 400 mgs/Serzone. I have been afraid of taking Neurontin because of petentially more weight gain, but my need for a mood stabilizer/anxiety calmer is winning out. The doc won't prescribe Topomax.
Would anyone out there like to join me this month in trying to loose some of this depression weight? Hopefully I can loose, but at least I can try to make sure I'll get no gain from the Neurontin. Otherwise, I'll have to buy (another) whole new wardrobe!
Let me know - I'm starting August 1!
