How can i lose the weight from antidepressants.i exercise and diet and still gaining weight around my tummy.please advise?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See your doctor: I can understand why the weight gain is a concern. Your effort to exercise and monitor food intake is commendable. It is possible that medications used to treat depression and anxiety may be having an impact. However, it is important that you discuss this concern further with your doctor, who can rule out other potential and treatable causes of weight gain. Hope this helps. All the best.
