I had a woman gyn explain to me, that SSRI's can wreak havoc with the brain receptors and increase carb/sugar cravings.

I also learned that the smoothies, that I thought were oh so healthy, HA!! do you know how much sugar is in those things. Natural fruit sugars, sugar in the yogurt and sugar in the juices. Those things add up. That's what I was eating 'wrong' on Celexa, because I didn't gain that first year, it was that second year.

Weight has been off, and staying off. Added seltzer water to my diet. And some certifying nutritionist training, for work, helps, too.

Another thing, these meds can keep you awake, later and the longer you are awake, the more likely you are to add more calories to your diet. And when the stomach is growling, c'mon now. Let's not knock those that can't help not eat to a growling stomach, when on these meds.

'no judgment zone' here!!
