Ok - I am a 30 year-old male, 5'8" and currently weigh 240lbs. I am so appalled by this I can barely type. I've weighed 150 most of my adult life (18-27) and can't shake the weight gain from meds no matter what.
Currently, I eat one meal a day - granted it's at night and it's not the most fat-free - but it's not a whole pizza either.
I'm taking Lexepro 30mg, Dexedrine 80mg, Ambien 20mg, and Seroquel 300mg (for insomnia). I strongly suspect the Seroquel and then the Lexepro - but I am ballooning up and it's physically "weighting" me down.
Sure, I'd love a magic pill to take all the weight away - but I'm in touch with reality (I think). Anyway, when I walk tomy car before or after work I almost faint from wheezing. I feel like I'm dragging 400lbs of bricks behind me. Even if I go out for a walk, I have to turn back because it's too much.
I jsut never imagined I'd be this size - I was always skinny. I just don't know what to do or where to start.....
anyone? advice? anything?
Thanks.......
