In reply to HELP! I keep gaining weight..., posted by Joanie on January 3, 2003, at 13:44:31
Hi Joanie,
Some a/ds are more notorious than others for weight-gain. I gained a lot on Remeron depsite excercising every day 30/60 minutes - but I think another factor would be (I'm guessing) your surgery. Isnt it the less estrogen in your body, the more likely you'll gain? Someone I know who is on tamoxifen gained weight and cant lose it despite excercise. We also all respond uniquely to these meds. I also know someone who gained 60 lbs on zoloft. You could try a higher dose of wellbutrin- or add topomax to your "cocktail." Both may compensate for your perhaps slower metabolism. But you could if you really wanted to start excercising,add some light walking.-dont start out strenous-you could work up to 1/2 hour, that may help too. I share your concern- it is really disheartening to keep packing on the pounds because of a med. I hope to go back to my normal wieght once im off this remeron. Good luck
