Hi all,
I know this will probably get moved to the meds forum but I wanted to post here because of the wider audience...
I have a problem I'm really worried about...WEIGHT GAIN & STRETCH MARKS!
Since taking a new med ( mirtazipine - 4 months now) I've gained weight like there's no tomorrow....roughly 2 to 2.5 stones......
Although the actual weight gain itself is annoying & unpleasant it's more the stretch marks that are bothering me....
Theres some on my hips (feint ones), On the outside of my thighs (feint-ish)
BUT on my inner thighs I have 3 meaty massive dark purple ones, almost look like varicose veins, they do not hurt, or hurt to touch.
Am I right in thinking that the quick weight gain is to blame?
I eat ok, although I don't get as much exercise as I usually get as I'm not working at the mo.
How do you get rid!!!! I don't want to change meds as I don't want toget used to a new one all over again.
Any help & I'll literally love you forever <3 x
