Massive Revelation

My DH (when he was just BF) split up approx 10 years ago for 3 months. I was depressed (before I left) and started to take ADs at the same time as the split & went to live with my DF.

I lost loads of weight (nearly 3 stone) then we got back together, came off ADs and pretty quickly regained the weight.

Long story short, I have started to take AD again and it's been a week. I have lost 6 pounds. IT WASN'T THE DEVASTATION OF THE SPLIT. It was the antidepressants that made me lose the weight. Excited.

or being depressed that made you gain weight?

[YesAnastasia]

Well yes but maybe I'm always depressed...? No, I've always had some kind of eating issue. I think when I'm on ADs I don't need to emotionally eat. It's amazing.

Maybe the depression was making you comfort eat?
Ive been reading a bit lately and it seems depression and eating can sometimes go hand in hand.

What ads are you taking? Just out of curiosity

I hope you are feeling better op

They're called Citalopram. I honestly think they're taking my appetite away, feel great today.

Maybe it could be good for people with eating disorders (like me...)
