Hi guys!!I'm 28, and I've been 45-50kgs since I was 18. I've also had very bad ibs-d since I was 18 so always attributed my size to not being able to get any 'goodies' out of my food since my food always went straight through me. 6 months ago my Doctor prescribed paxil for depression and anxiety, which thankfully had cured my ibs - I have only had one attack which I think was linked to PMS. My only problem now is I've put on 12kgs during the past six months. I've read that antidepressants can cause weight gain, but I'm sceptical. I've been pilling in the food since I've had no d attacks, and started eating dairy and drinking fizzies so assume thats whats causing the weight gain. Has anyone else had weight gain on Paxil (or any other antidepressant) and what have you done about it?I'm trying Pilates but find it really hard to keep motivated, but I'm getting really miffed at the orange peel butt and thighs and this spare tyre thats developing around my middle......Help!!!!!!
