weight gain /Cit

[eve22]

i do believe the past 2 months i been on Cit i gained 15 pounds:blush::weep::scared15::unsure:
yea, like i needed any extra pounds!!
there is no way im changing meds again, i changed 4 times already so is there anything i can do?
As in diet wise, Why do we gain weight on this med ?

Talk about how we're all different, I didn't gain any weight. Did your diet change at all? I think I read you have four kids...amazing! ! That's got to impact your eating habits and exercise, no?

I've lost 7lbs eve. I have changed my diet tho. Biggest difference is cutting out bread. I think im intolerance to it anyway - ibs. You defo need to watch diet with regards to simple carbs causing blood sugar fluctuations - mood swings. Try eat a good breakfast within shirt period of getting up. Oe having protein and a complex carbohydrate with it.

Also, Eve, don't be too concerned with getting curvy, hunni. My gosh, when my kids were little I was at least 5 dress sizes bigger than I am now. Seriously, the in the child-bearing years it's not unusual, and I kinda think it's nature's way of making sure we have the energy to keep up and care for them! ... Besides, I have seen the pic of you in that pretty new dress, and the pounds are in all the right places :winks: You sexy thing! :yesyes:
Luv,
Marie

Paul, thank you for the tips, i have cut out white bread i use wheat, whenever i do use bread at all, my biggest problem is my sweet tooth.

Eve, curvy is lovely sweetie!

I lost 2 stone before cit - I have put about a stone of that back. I put it down to the fact that cit makes me feel a little nauseous so I like to keep eating to take the edge off.

I'm going to read these tips as I do want to keep fitting in the clothes I own!

I've put on two stone in about 2 years while being on citalopram -to be honest I needed it I think, as I was pretty darn skinny! I went from a size 6, to my current size 10. However I am now becoming concious that the weight is going on, and going on quite easily so I am having to watch my diet a lot more, and I really must start exercising, and exercising properly!

Some meds may interfere with insulin levels, which in turn affects the way the system uses carbs/sugar. Propranolol is one such med that does this and ive gained weight since starting to take it. I am losing the weight now but it seems to take forever to come off compared to how quickly it came off in the past...very frustrating.
