Hi
Started citalopram in Octber 2012 for anxiety. Since then have gained 10lbs. Have been on 5:2 for 4 weeks and lose and gain the same 3 lbs.
My problem is snacking. But it's something I have always done. I graze rather than eat big meals. The last 4 weeks though I have stuck rigidly to 500 calls a day for tow days each week. 3 days this week.
Although weight gain is not a common side effect with citalopram it's the only thing I can put my finger on that I have changed.
I am only 5 ft 2 and weigh 9 stone 3. Usually I am between 8.7 and 8.9 and have been that weight all my adult life. I am 46.
My size 10s (uk) are all tight.
Will I only lose it if I come off the meds?
I would appreciate replies. Thanks
