Hey all.
I just don't know what to do with myself right now so I figured I should post and just maybe someone will have some advice that I'll find supportive.
For the last few days I"ve been really hungry for some reason and I've been eating constantly it seems. I can't seem to stop myself. Its so frustrating. I don't know it is my medication or what. But its really frustrating. And I feel horrible right now because of it. I plan on going without any food for the next few days to make up for it. And I want to run to the bathroom right now and gag myself so I throw up. I hate this. So much.. I"m so frustrated with myself. I never eat like this. Ever. And I feel like I"m out of control. I can't even control my eating anymore. No.. I don't want to eat at all for the rest of the week. And I won't. And if I do I'll throw it up. I can't do this...
Sorry guys... this post made no sense.. but any advice or encouragment would be greatly appreciated.

what medication are you taking exactly? i have had experience with many
if you need to do your own research: www.rxlist.com this is a good site.
wellbutrin is a medication that will cause a weight loss of about 5 lbs. paxil will make you gain quite a bit of weight...celexa, zoloft, most ssri's have 5lbs gain/loss

o girl! u hang in there!! i had those days 2 when i just feel so UGHH!!! i really cant relate with the whole medication thing tho...i really dont know what to say. maybe ask someone for help? i mean, only u can heal urself, but help is a BIG step!:)

Hi, I don't have any real advice for you, but I wanted to let you know I'm kind of in the same situation - I am taking Lexapro for anxiety and I just can't stop eating. I am so hungry all the time. I've read that this is definitely a side effect of some antidepressants and other medication. Surprisingly, I haven't gained very much weight though, only a lb. or so over two months and I'm ok with that (that was actually my goal, to gain just one lb. and see how I feel with that). But it is scary and frustrating to be so hungry all the time, I know the feeling, and yes, I think it may be the medication you are taking.
Take care---

Huh.. that could explain it. I've been monsterously hungry for the past few days and I thought it was because of my training.. I'm training for a half marathon.. but I just started Prozac last week.. I wonder if that's the real reason I've been so hungry. Maybe it's a mix of both.
