losing weight during depression

Several studies indicated that antidepressants may cause weight gain when taken long term, especially paroxetine and amitriptyline (with average weight gain of 5 to 6 lbs). However, it is not conclusive if it is depression the disease itself, specific antidepressants, and/or the combinations. I strongly recommend for you to consult your healthcare provider about your weight gain and perhaps consider an alternative to paroxetine, if it is the main cause.

Hey yall, I've lost about 10 pounds in 2 days and I'm 5 weeks pregnant. I haven't been eating much because I'm so worried about what's good and bad for the baby. I have awful anxiety and depression so I over think and worry about everything . I haven't been taking my anxiety medicine due to risks of harming the baby and I think that's why I can't eat and am losing weight so fast. Is this dangerous or will it get better with time ?

I too am so worried about gaining weight during my pregnancy and losing it afterwards. So far due to morning sickness I have lost weight and I am down to 188lbs however I do understand that weight gain is a part of pregnancy, but it doesn't have to be feared. Just make sure you watch what you are eating and watch your weight gain during your pregnancy. I was given a limit of 15-20 lbs by my Dr and I am trying my hardest to stick to it.

I believe there are some antidepressants that do cause weight gain; you might have to cut back on your calories or step up your exercise to compensate. I would also suggest that you get checked for other medical issues, including hypothyroidism (causes depression), insulin resistance, PCOS; all of these conditions can cause weight gain/inability to lose. I might suggest that you incorporate the food diary here on Med Help.

I lost 10 pounds In less than a month but i had problem getting food into my system because of all the queasiness but weight loss during the first trimester is normal as long as you make sure to drink your prenatal vitamins, that will help you a lot with all the nutrients you and your baby need during weight loss.

Geodon doesn't cause weight gain as often as some of the other AAPs, but it can do it. If you're gaining weight despite a decent lifestyle, then you might have to go off it for your physical health.

I don't know what you've tried, but Abilify might be an option that tends to be weight neutral and good for the depressive side as well as the manic side.
