Well I am struggling with the Lexapro weight gain.....does anyone have any advice.
I don't know what I want to do - get off the lex and be anxious but thinner and happier or stay on the lex and risk gaining more and more weight.
I have been on the lex since March of this year and have already gained 12 pounds. When does it stop? or does it. The weight gain is starting to consume my every thought, but not enough to really do something about it. It is so weird this feeling. It's like a lack of motivation to really get serious.
Does anyone else feel this way. Any advice please!!
Anxious babe

why the heck are you being so rude? in my opinion i was a bride on my wedding day, now i am a wife. nobody was jumping on you. i hardly know you and maybe i took what you wrote out of context,but i know i didnt when read your most recent posts. i was not aware that you were having problems, and i would have been more then happy to be a friend during that time. i was never given the chance. i am so sorry you feel sad and mad and whatever else. i just sensed some sarcasm and anger in your post. i am sorry you felt ganged up on. i never meant for it to be like that. i am not that type of person. sorry if you felt that way. i hope you are ok now, if not i will be glad to talk about it, or should i say write about it. hee hee.--jess

Trucker,
I don't post much on the social board. I have a hard time connecting to people cyberly. Anyway, I carefully read this entire thread and, believe me, you didn't do anything remotely wrong.
If anything, you were being good-natured and I guess it was misunderstood. I hope you keep posting as long as it helps you.

New Wife,
Try cutting back, or altogether cutting out, one indulgence--for me it's been lattes. Instead I take my coffee, mix it with some milk, and heat it in saucepan. Same creamy taste, 1/3 the calories. I also cut breads--and replaced with yogurt, low sodium soups, and cottage cheese to get the calcium and fiber and protein needed w/o wasting calories on high-fructose corn syrup and partially-hydrogenated fats. I try to avoid any breads with these two ingredients. And start walking--it will ease you into a fitness routine that you could live with. Plus, there's the added bonus of getting to see first-hand and regularly how crazy your neighbors are.
Good luck,
Edna Babish

Hey Ya'll,
Lets remember that we are on internet posting and we are all dealing with horrible mental illness. Its hard to understand what "tone" someone is speaking in when they are writing on the internet also, sometimes our sad thoughts and feelings make us lash out at the ones we love and turn to for support.
We all need to band together to defeat these diseases that are holding us down. We are much better together than alone. If someone needs to post negitive thoughts or feelings, this is a supportive and healthy place to get them out.
Remember above all that each of us has thanked God for all of the wonderful people we have met on this board. I know I do each night, I know that I would not have made it as far as I have without your love and support.
Just my two cents!
Lexy

i noticed there is pleanty of support for the oh i am gaining weight, and i think i may switch meds cause of the weight.. but when it came to me weaning off the meds, crying over my friend not having time for me, and the selling and buying of my house you all had pleanty to say about that belly thing, but nothing to say about my broken heart and no support for the most stressful part of my life, the buying and selling of my house.. not to mention the bankrupsty, forced buy the death of my unborn baby. that i carried to term and still am being torchered over years later.. this is why the house, i love has to be sold.. not bad enought i have a grave, instead of a birthday to celebrtate. then i have to loose my house too. and GOD knows what else.... gee i think a dead baby and the loosing of a house and a bankruptcy, caus e i am in no condition to work, is a little more important than that little belly buldge.

Please trucker have some respect for your still born baby and not refer to he/she as a dead baby!!!!!!..that is sooo disrespectful...We did have time for you..I have posted many times asking how you are doing and about the house and comforting you when jlynne was too sick to help you...I have been there asking about the house and the sale of the house and sent you e-mails as to the death of a close friend...you need to go back and read because I HAVE BEEN THERE FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.....I DONT WANT TO HEAR IT ANYMORE..I have tried again and again and either you didnt write or you disappeared ..and when people are disappearing they are given their space and it has always been known ALWAYS..that we are all here for one another no matter what...!@!!...without having to say it everyday when someone is not responding!!!!!!!!!!!!!....I couldnt be any more mad than i am right now and this has got to stop....
I'm so sorry trucker that you have had to endure my complaining about belly weight..and my problems with my meds and I remember us going over your decision to go on the grapefruit diet and we all tried to help you with that and you just ended up fighting with everyone...so we have been there for you....You cannot help someone that doesnt want to be helped....
There is no reason to respond to this as I will not now or ever read these posts again...and I'm sure that Dr bob will not be pleased with this post...but to have you trash everyone for the things that they didnt do is an injustice to every kind loving sharing person on this post the people that i'm proud to call my friends and for the people that you shouldve called yours also...
I'm not like this and I have to tell you I couldnt be more ashamed of myself today for giving into this but didnt know what else to do...Good bye good luck and god bless...I hope that you got the response you were looking for it is alllll yours.....Mystic

oooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhpbcpbc/////make your own judgement, make your own words, phrases and thoughts...if you get kicked off of a website for it, who cares!!! Newbride... roll with the punches,,,others opinions are mere obstacles.
i was so excited to see your name but so sad when i read your post. you know me and this was not about other peoples opinions, it was about mine. i dont roll with the punches when my feelings get involved and i thought you would be understanding. i dont think its funny and i wish i had support instead of sarcasm. aniken, i wish you had not posted that. obviosly you did not read all my posts. i hope you didnt.
I am a tad bit curious as to what was so sarcastic about what I wrote to you...When you are chatting on an internet thread, you have to ROLL with the punches, because sometimes others don't take things as you would like them too...
All I meant was that you spoke your mind and who cares about other peoples opinions or a PBC.This is getting to be too much. I dont like being tsk tsked...I get enough of that elsewhere.

Good. Accepted and I apologize as well, if I seemed rude, I promise,I didn't mean to...as a matter of fact, I just polished off a bunch of daquiris and tried to be so careful about what I wrote...You know when you sit there and read something over and over again. Truce, I hope things get better. I really do. I guess everyone is just frustrated...There will be better days ahead.

I have just read the posts from today and I have to admit that I am totally discusted. What is going on with this board.
I don't even like coming on here anyone. I use to come here for support and reasurance whether it was about "belly fat" or "weight gain and switching meds" because I thought that this is where I could come for that kind of advice, but when I read the posts from today and found that someone had a problem with me or anyone else talking about those issues it really turned me off. Obviously those issues get the most attention because the majority of us are experiencing these problems.
This was always a place for me to come and find peace and people who were just like me, but now it is filled with too much negativity and bickering - I can get that at work or in my everyday routine.
I also heard from another board that someone was complaining about Mystic posting too much - boy is that a crock!!! Now we have people complaining about someone posting too much. I have heard it all today. This board is no different from everyday life and I don't need to come here and get aggravated.
The worst post of the day which really threw me for a loop was when one of our yo-yo's told another one to go and "take her meds" Oh my God that had to be the worst. I understand if someone is having a bad day, but to go and tell one of our own to do that is just way out of control for me.
Lexy your posts was so true, it's too bad everyone doesn't think like you - you are an angel my friend
Mystic, I am sorry you had to come on this board and get so upset today. I felt the same way when I read that nonsense. When is Dr. Bob going to intervene?
Well I have nothing else to say, but I am sorry that this board has turned in to this. I felt that we were always there for everyone and whatever issue they were dealing with at that point in their life. Obviously some of us didn't think so. I am sorry if my posting about weight gain from the Lexapro has offended anyone, but I will continue to talk about issues I have relating to the med that I am on until someone tells me otherwise....and that someone would have to be Dr. Bob.
I wish you all well.

I sure picked an interesting time to start reading your posts in this thread. :O
I guess I'll see if things cool down and then try again. I know this is not your normal mode of posting.
Take care everyone.
