When you're in the middle of a med induced binge eating spree, the last thing on your mind is obesity. It's the aftermath..when you beat up on yourself for letting things get so out of hand. Some of the meds that caused me to gain a lot of weight also lifted my depression so I wanted to live.
For some strange reason my binging has pretty much come to a halt since I started taking modafinil. I haven't stepped on a scale for a couple of weeks..I'm scared I'll find out I've gained more, when I've done so well at not binging.
I think I've often turned to food for comfort and some meds just seem to trigger it.
Nardil was the worst for my binging. The first time on Parnate I completely lost any interest in food (which was a strange feeling).
I'm so at the end of my med choices I guess it's pretty much fat and partial remission vs. ??. The modafinil has given me a glimmer of hope that I might lose some weight.
I think I'm rambling now!
