I gained weight from SSRI's, SSNI's, all AP's (especially Seroquel), and a number of other psych meds...mirtazipine was a major weight-gainer for me. I have wondered if, because I started out under weight, my body overcompensates by easily gaining.
A few years ago I sold my car, bought a bike, and rode to/from work and everywhere I needed to go. So I was riding every day. I was eating normally, and (as always) with good health in mind. I thought surely I'd lose a decent amount of weight, riding as much as I was.
Well, I never lost a single lb. I didn't gain any weight, but not losing any while exercising like I was every day...it was discouraging, to say the least.
I've never been a junk food junkie, I've always been very conscious of healthy eating. Metformin has kept my blood sugar low, but that's all. I love water and drink a lot, every day.
At this point I am working on walking more and more (post achilles tendon surgery). I figure I might lose maybe 25lbs., but I don't have high hopes for losing much more than that. I seem to be someone whose weight is affected by nearly every psych med.
