Medications and weight gain help

Stak_em · 05-11-2005, 06:01 AM

I have been put on lexapro to stop my panic attacks, and have found i have put on a lot of body fat, especially my mid section. My stomach and back hangs over my jeans and i have never had this in my life i weigh 56kgs walk 7kms a day and go the gym but i cant get rid of it especially the mid section. Can anyone suggest any supplements that can help or anything it would be much appreciated. Im a 24yr old women.
Thanks

Why not tell your doctor to change meds. I heard that taking welburin may be as effective without the weight gain side effect. How much pounds did u gain btw. Cause I take paxil I gained like around 10 to 15 pounds all together but i actually loss a bit of weight like 10 pounds eating right and avoiding bad carbs like white bread sugar etc. I basically cancelled the weight gain out. But ya try to change medications. See whats right for ya.

Hi, i have tried heaps of the meds. I been on efexor, serzone, edronax, aropax (that made me gain 10kgs) siprimil, and some more but i have found this to have the least side effects, just seem to put the weight on around my gut and back. Have you tried those cut gels???? Do they work????

I never tried ne cut gels or ne gels. The cutting im currently on right now is beta lean. Its decent. It kinda works only because it decreases ur appetite and u sweat more during workouts. But i focus more on food intake (avoiding carbs etc) rather than supplements. But as for cutting gels im not too sure about it

You may want to consult an endocrinologist or nutritionist as 'cutting' supplements may exaserbate your panic attacks. They may be able to help you with medication/diet/supplements that will not make matters worse.

Good luck.
