Ok, this is rediculous. My once loose size 6's (I was about a 4/5) are now tight. I don't eat ANY processed foods or sugar and I exercise regularly. I'm sick of this. I've only been on Remeron about 2 months and I'm up at least 10 lbs. It's helped a lot with my anxiety, but now I'm just depressed every day b/c of this weight gain, and I'm at the mercy of this drug. What other drugs are out there that will be as effective (I finally got OFF Paxil, that was HELL) for anxiety and panic attacks but doesn't effect weight??!! I'm not lazy, nor do I eat "bad" food. I don't drink, smoke or do drugs (other than Remeron of course LOL!) and I'm just sinking deeper and deeper. I want to stop this before I gain more weight! Also, I am angry all the time and annoyed very easily. I feel like all I do it yell at dh and the kids.
I have a docs appointment tomorrow (the 4th) and I'll ask him what he thinks, but I'm willing to bet he'll just tell me to eat smartly and don't overindulge...stay active blah blah blah. There are a lot of people (including the pharmacist I trust so much) who think that it's just as easy as not eating too much. But I honestly think that this drug has messed with my metabolism. I've worked way too hard to get back into shape after two kids to let some med screw with me.
Also, this is really weird, but when I take a deep breath my hands and feet tingle, like pins and needles! What's up with that??HELP!!!
Cheers,
Kyah :)
