My weight goes up & down. When I stop junk food like potato chips & dark chocolate candy, I loose back to my lower healthy weight. But because I'm so active, I have to eat healthy when I do eat.

I don't take meds other than the pain med to keep my chronic migraine under control. I have other horrible side effects worse than weight gain so meds aren't an option. Changed the situation I was living in & it made all the difference in my depression. When I feel anxiety there is a REAL reason for it so I deal with the cause. The PTSD has improved after moving 2100 miles away & with time the nightmares have gone away & so has the depersonalization. Living alone & being responsible for my animals & my farm keeps me focused on healthy.

If I had stayed living in my bad marriage I left 9 years ago, I have no idea where I would be today..but I'm not so where I am is my focus.

I do understand the problem though Prozac & Wellbutrin triggered serious weight loss for me.
