Please help me. I feel like I'm losing my battle. I've been reading a lot of info on this forum, but most of it is decades old. I was hoping for some updating information on Nardil and weight loss.
I am taking:
Nardil 90mg
Lyrica 300mg
Topamax: 50mg
Nuvigil: 250mgThe combo works great! It relieves my atypical depression and social anxiety 80% percent. 95+ on a good day.
But now I am morbidly obese. I'm 6'3" and I gained over 120lbs in 6 months. I am trying Topamax, and it cuts the cravings, but it's like the drugs are making me not motivated to start dieting and exercising. Almost like I should have anxiety about my weight but I don't because of the drugs. My only motivation to lose the weight is because I struggle to do things I used to do, like walking up the stairs. I get exhausted easily and sometimes just want to give up. Plus I don't like how I look.
I have an appointment next week. Should I try Parnate or Marplan? Or should I quit the MAOIs and go on Adderall for a while? Or should I stay on the Nardil and work with my therapist?
I now have over 160lbs to lose... I almost just want to give up.
