In reply to Weight gain meds..., posted by daizy on April 22, 2003, at 16:23:42
Hi daizy:
I wish I had an answer for you or suggestions to help you with your frustration not being able to lose weight. The only thing I can do is share my experience with you and to tell you I will be watching this thread very closely for ideas.
Over a year ago I took Remeron. I turned into an eating machine. I was stuffing food in, especially sweets, like a maniac. I had to get off the medication, which is unfortunate because I was beginning to get a response. I gained 50 lbs and nothing I have done to lose the weight has budged, even a pound. This summer I adhered to nutritious eating and walked every day, sometimes twice, along the boardwalk I live by, faithfully. I would walk from one end to the other and back up a steep hill to get home. Never mind not losing weight, sometimes I would go to my doctor and I would have gained a few pounds. I have starved myself, tried Slim Fast, and various other diets.
I know I don't sound very encouraging but no matter who I have asked I can't get an answer. I just feel that I am stuck with this weight because I do not know what else to do.
Let's hope that someone will have some suggestions for you.
Good luck!
