Common Questions and Answers about Does anxiety medicine make you lose weight
anxiety
You are kinda in a quandry cause most of the good anti anxiety meds are addictive and have the propensity to aggrevate depression. Most of the anti depressants that are used for anxiety tend to make you gain weight and cause sexual sideeffects. There aren't too many anti depressants that you have to avoid sunlight with but most of the mood stabilizers can make you alittle sun sensitive. Jeez! You will probably have to decide which way you wanna go - possible addiction?
initially she gained weight during the first few week...now she has started to 
She is going to the doctor to be tested for the condition, but I don´t even know if it is possible to lose weight on the medicine if you do NOT have a hypothyroid condition? She thinks that even if she has a normal one, she could take it and it would just boost her metabolism.
Can you tell me the truth about this?
There really is no pill to help you lose weight and keep it off. Losing weight is about lifestyle changes including a doctor supervised diet and exercise program. That's how to lose it and keep it off, pills only offer temporary weight loss, it's a way of life.
You can do it, I lost over 80 pounds and still losing by changing what I eat and sticking to a daily exercise routine designed to burn more calories than I take in. It's all about calories in and calories out.
Birth control can make you gain some weight, but you can lose on it. I was having the same type of issue 3yrs ago, and it turned out I was an APO-E 4/4. Which meant I couldn't process fat or sugar properly. I changed my diet radically, cutting out most pre-processed foods, lowered my meat intake, and watched my fat intake 40g to a 1500 calorie diet. I started to lose weight and I lost it quickly.
It could also be a hormonal issue causing water retention, which can make your weight appear higher but not necessarily because you are carrying more fat. My weight is currently up 8 pounds from the start of the year, and I feel like I'm running more than ever and noticeably "look fitter" than I did two months ago, even though weight has not started to come back down a lot since going on the Lupron Depot.
Topamax (Topiramate) is not a weight loss medication; I'm surprised you'd find a doctor to prescribe it for that. I take it daily, for peripheral neuropathy. I've been on it for about 2 yrs and it's done nothing to help with weight loss. Of course, the dosage has a lot to do with it... what dosage are you on?
I am young i shouldnt be ashamed to take pictures, and put on swimsuits. But as most of us know it is really hard to lose weight. I have tried almost everything!! I am already borderline diabetic so i am afraid if i take the medicine the doctor prescribes i will become diabetic. Help me please at this point i will try anything!!!
s always a good idea to eat as healthy as you can for both you and the baby. Not only does dieting limit your calories, and the baby does need a certain amount to develop properly, but it might also keep you from getting the nutrients from certain foods that you need. Alone, we can and do restrict our bodies sometimes from certain types of food while we're dieting, when we're pregnant though we're eating to nourish the baby.
I take 10 mg of Celexa and Vistaril for sleep. I think if I upped my dose of Celexa to 20 mg then it would probably work for the anxiety, but I'm trying to lose much needed weight. (I've lost 20 and have about 15 to go). I would obviously rather be happy and fat but I've been trying to lose this weight for about 7 years so I don't want to up my dose just yet.
I've been using rescue remedy spray and calms and they help a little.
