Diabetic Diet & Blood Gluecose

I was thin my whole life until I took antidepressants. Because one brand (Paxil) caused me to gain 17 lbs in 2 weeks, the quick weight gain broke the arch in my right foot which may never be healed. I’ve never been able to lose the weight no matte what I do – and I mean no fad diets. I did the diabetic exchange diet, I used B complex which is good for your metabolism and exercised like crazy…… but as soon as I slacked off all the weight came right back (15ilbs was the most I lost). After I had two kids way before the antidepressants, I could lose the weight and eat anything I wanted and never gain an ouce back! Do antidepressants cause long term damage to your metabolism? P LEASE, no snotty answers.

I used to take some antidepressants and I gained about 32 pounds, the doctor changed to Zoloft and I went from 132 to 107. Now they changed to Cynbalta which are pretty good. I have diabetes type 2 and I stopped drinking coke and reducing all candy. If you want to loose weight don’t eat all at once, eat little portion at the time. Eat a lot salad to fill you up. Try to eat more fish, salmon a little portion like the palm of your hand. Drink 8 glasses of water every day. Some antidepressant make you very hungry. If you are taking some that make you hungry tell the doctor to change it. Not all of the of them make you hungry, also talk to the doctor and have an blood test to see about your thyroid gland, they maybe working very slow and that make you to gain weight. I don’t know if antidepressants cause long term damage to your metabolism, but my doctor said when you take antidepressant you flush it out, so I don’t think so, otherwise they would not prescribed, but I think it would be a good idea if you talk to the doctor and change the antidepressant. I hope I help you. God bless you.
