[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been on it since last august and have lost 50 lbs so far (25 more to go). My insurance covered it (UHC) but I just switched jobs and I hope Cigna covers it too. I feel like I can eat a lot less and not be completely miserable and think about food all the time. I am doing weight watchers at the same time to give me parameters and allow me to switch my thinking about food. So far it's been life-changing. I was able to get off BP mds and cholesterol meds.

I just wish people would have more compassion for people with obesity and realize that a lot of the times it's so much more than "just eating less." [/quote]

I just commented about Zoloft weight gain. Off Zoloft, I barely have a desire to eat. I mean, food tastes good, but I can very easily not eat it—and I find it very easy to make healthy choices. On Zoloft, while so much less anxious and more present in life, I am just so hungry. And I cannot pass up a carb. Even though I tried to eat like the old me, the weight just slowly piled on because I never felt full.

There is so much about the human body we don’t understand. I have all the compassion for anyone who has trouble regulating their appetite. It’s all tied up in brain chemistry I think. But people who haven’t struggled with weight just think they’re disciplined. [/quote]

What’s weird is that I think Lexapro made me gain weight even without any increase in appetite or calories. I think there’s something SSRIs do to digestion and metabolism beyond just appetite. [/quote]

I think that’s also possible. It took me a few months to start to lose weight after I cut the meds—and I felt like I was being really restrictive with my diet. So I’d buy there is more than one factor at play. But I’ve on so many places that it doesn’t change metabolism. One other theory I have is that I just move around a ton more when I’m anxious. When I’m on Zoloft, maybe I’m just so chill that I burn less calories. [/quote]
