I currently am on Seroquel and Desipramine - two terrible meds for NOT wanting to gain weight. They are working well for me in the mood dept. but put me in front of a pie from Baker's Square and I'll eat the whole thing in one sitting. It's like I'm so starving that nothing else in the world matters. I'm 30 and 5'8" and have weighed under 150 lbs most of my life. Then 5 years ago Luvox added about helped me gain 80 lbs in about 18 months. My heaviest was 220 lbs. It was horrible. Finally I got back down to 190 and stayed there for a while until starting Seroquel and Desipramine 4 months ago. Now I'm back around 215. I am even on 60mg Dexedrine and I could eat all day long!! I've never had to deal with being so overweight in my life and it is terribly distressing. The weird thing is that a couple days ago I weighed myself and I was 215 and yesterday I weighed in at 207 - same clothes and same time of day. Then today back around 215. How can I lose 8 lbs in 24 hours and then gain it all back? Water weight maybe?? Can anyone shed some light here? Sorry to ramble...I'm just very frustrated....
Thanks
Jerry
