Hey girls,
Now that you mentioned the belly weight gain I have also noticed weight gain in my belly. I have gained about 13 pounds on the Lex and I think most of it went into my belly.
I have never been one to gain anything in my stomach, my belly has always been the one thing to stay flat, but not anymore. Edna I am curious to see what your p-doc says about that. Please let Mystic and I know.
Have a great day, I hope Lexy is doing better and Jlynne you sound much better.
Mrs. C are you feeling any better yet?

Anxious Babe,
SHE says it doesn't cause weight gain. I'm sending her to you guys.

. . . i gained about 15lbs on the lex. I lost about five of it within a month of going off, but am having trouble losing any more.
I plan to start walking again. This must not go on!!
Good luck to all who are struggling with this - doesn't help the self-esteem at all, does it?

The connection I make to weight gain is these drugs make me incredibly LAZY. Back when I was high strung and panic attacky, I would run and run and run and never sit down...I was 145 three years ago...NOW? 180. YUCK. I have gained 10 since JUNE WEDDING!!but then again the motivation is gone. I can live with myself this way, But it sucks. I can have a hot bod at 145, bodacious bosoms and relatively flat belly, and wear a sz 8-10..Now at sz 14-16.BLAH PLUS SZ@@

Yeah I feel the same way, the meds cause you to be so lazy and it drives me crazy because I always feel like I am pushing or forcing myself to do something. Everynight I say that tomorrow I am going to be more motivated and start doing more activities, but sometimes it is so hard for me just to get out of bed and it's not because I am depressed or anything it's just because I am so tired and lazy.
Why can't we find a med that just fixes the problem without doing something else to you.
I hope we all find that drug someday, however I am thankful that we have something to help us through our anxiety now. Today I was feeling a little anxious and I haven't felt that way in so long. I hope the meds are not fading on me.

with every a/d that i have been on i have gained weight in the same place...my belly. Very weird. For the first time I have not gained weight in my stomach being on Cymbalta. My stomach is relatively flat for the first time in many many years. For that reason alone i am going to stick with it and keep raising the dosage as far as i can until i get anti=depressant relief.

Jess - that is such good news. It must be such a relief to not have to anticipate the surgery anymore. I hope all of your pain is relieved very soon.
I saw the pics - you were a beautiful bride, my dear . . . absolutely glowing! and your gown was fantastic. Everything looked sooooo romantic . . .

well, actually i thought i was doing good, but i got a lets be civil message from doctor bob. this may be my last post ever. i am hurt and i dont know if i want to be a part of this site anymore. i am pretty upset. i spent a long time trying to word my post perfectly and i get in trouble. i am 23 years old, i kinda feel like a child that got in trouble in school. i refuse to let someone make me feel like that. i have tried to do nothing but make friends with people on here. if i dont talk to you again, i will miss you. i dont need this s*(^. oops, i will proabably get in trouble for that too. i dont care.

Oh, jessica . . . please, don't go. Even mystic got a pbc before. It's no big deal. Dr. Bob doesn't mean anything personal - you are a very important part of our board, and it would be a shame if you left because of this. You will look back on it and laugh some day . . . I promise!

i can compare my feeling to when u put your heart into a school paper and you get a C. i dont want to be a part of this. i can email you guys. do you have buddy list where we can IM? i have gotten a PBC before but i saw why. not this time. i have to stand up for myself. i dont want to be told to be civil when i was totally civil, i am not a baby. i have one dad, i dont need another. read what i wrote him. he will probably kick me off. who cares, i went down standing up for myself and my opinion. i dont let people let me feel dumb.

Hi, sweetie . . . I am holding my own, but it has been kind of a rough day. I started thinking about my mom and I have been crying a lot about her - it is a good cry, though, the kind that cleanses your soul, you know? I better not say anymore or dbob might redirect this to the grief board. (I did post over there, too . . . a letter to my mom)
The meds seem to be ok, keeping me out of the deep pits anyway, and not so many s/e's as the lex. I see my doc on the 19th and she will probably have me up my dose at that time. Oh, dear . . . now I am going to be re-directed to Babble (Meds) . . .I better say something "social", eh?
It is good to be back, and I am glad that you didn't give up on me (*smile*). Maybe I will win the lottery so I can come to Chicago to the convention and, heck if I win the lottery I could pay for your airfare, too and we could hug in person!

Lexy, I am so sorry . . . I thought I answered your post already, but I guess it was because I said a prayer for you and I hope you don't think that I was ignoring your pain.
Are things any better for you now? You know, you are not used to being so close physically to your boyfriend and maybe there is just some kind of adjustment going on inside getting used to the more constant demands of a relationship. Just a thought. (If he would just give you that dang ring, darn it!)
Take care, sweetie . . . your answers will come.
