I was on citalopram 80mg and then sertraline 100mg for two years. Came off them completely in may. I think I need them again. But coming off was hell in terms of side effects. And over the course of 2 years I put in about 4 stone. None of which has shifted since coming off I have to add.
Have spoken to the Dr and she categorically said that it wouldn't have been the medication to cause me to put on weight - she's never heard of that as a side effect. SHe also couldn't offer me any different types to try.
I can ill afford to put any more weight on. I'm tired. I'm shaky if I try not to eat. In already feeling my age and am at higher risk of diabetes. But I'm so unhappy in myself. And looking the way I do now isn't helping but I don't have the oomph to do anything about it. My head feels like it's screaming inside.
Yet im sat in tears this early on a saturday morning and reluctant to take the meds. What is wrong with me
