Antidepressant medications are different from each other. "Prozac and Paxil significantly, block the metabolism, the breakdown, the effective use of amphetamine products like Vyvanse, Adderall, and Dexedrine.
I've gained 25 lbs in less than a year. I'm taking Prozac and lorazepam for OCD and anxiety. I know I can't get off the medicine yet but how do I lose the weight? I initially lost weight until I gained all and more weight back. Has anyone experienced this and have you done to help in losing weight?
If you're on an antidepressant, I assume you suffer depression and/or anxiety, and now you're taking speed to lose weight? Taking speed to lose weight isn't healthy for anyone, but you've already got mental problems, why would you ever consider this? Lose weight the right way -- change your diet and exercise more and lose it slowly so it stays off.
Would this cause weight gain ....I have tried to remove myself from Prozac, Wellbutin, Klonopin and the thyroid meds for 3 months. I have gained 20 pounds. Have not changed diet, Trying to regroup since been on these medications for over 10 years ( not the thryroid med). Have done pretty good with the panic aniexty problem and depression but I think I have pushed myself a little to far now and have to start up again.
The metabolism of codeine results in other opioid metabolites, including morphine, and a minor amount of hydrocodone. In fact, this is how codeine works -- by itself, codeine is ineffective. But because it is metabolized into a small amount of morphine, it is effective against pain.
Depending on the laboratory method used by your doctor's testing service, false positives can be reported if their "cut-off level" is set too low.
Why the weight gain on these anit d's is it because you are so relaxed? Does Prozac have the same effect? I know 3 people on Prozac and they are skinny......I don't want to gain weight.
No other noticeable side effects. So the doctor switched me to Prozac and these first 10 days have been h*ll. I am anxious and weepy and have more anger in me. My sleep is messed up (waking up in the middle of the night for an hour or two then falling back asleep). I feel very jittery and on edge all the time. I have read that these side effects will go away after a time. Has anyone else gone through this with Prozac and did you stick with it or stop taking it?
Free t3 is the most active thyroid hormone, that largely regulates metabolism and other body functions. It is four times as potent as free T4 and correlates best with hypo symptoms. TSH has a very poor correlation to symptoms, so it makes no sense to medicate (or not) on the basis of TSH.
The best approach would be for your doctor to treat your symptoms by testing and adjusting your free T3 and free T4 levels as required to alleviate those symptoms.
m currently on Paxil and Xanax, and have been experiencing a complete loss of appetite most days. I started eating a few days ago, but I'm only on 10mg a day for the Paxil. It takes a while for stuff to kick in, but this med has made me lose 10 lbs in 2 weeks. When I was 14 (I'm now 25) I was put on Celexa, and I was on it for a couple of years. I remember the Dr. increased my dosage a few times, and eventually I felt like a zombie. And YES I did gain weight.
"The following tables list selected natural treatments for depression that have good scientific support for a beneficial role for treating depression.
I'm 18 , I do a lot of sports .. And I do not eat that much .... Why can't I go under 65kg ?
If you really want to kick-start your metabolism, you may also try dividing your meals up into smaller portions that you eat more often throughout the day. Every time you eat, it helps your metabolism rise, so as strange as it may sound, eating frequently can help you lose weight or maintain a healthy weight.
Take care!
