Antidepressants?

[Geckoflower]

I'm not completly sure about antidepressants, i'm scared about gaining weight the most. How many people actually feel better while taking them? How long does it take for them to start working?

Hope you took them. You will be more hungry but please do take them you will feel much better.

I waited too long before taking them and I suffered too many weeks.

Hope you're feeling better.

Whatever drug you wish to start, make sure it has detailed instructions . You’d be surprised how many medications have instructions to take them but no instructions to leave them.

The side effects and mental issues that follow can be debilitating.

I gained 25 lbs in months on my meds I was on.

Cannabis is MY answer for a little daily helper.

Have a blessed day

Consider them part of the treatment. Therapy and exercise are the other two items that should be prescribed together. I don’t think they should be a life long decision.

Covid restrictions caused me to gain weight. The med didn’t. start slow.
