Talk to your Dr: Other than the normal imbalance of excess caloric intake relative to reduced activity level, there can be other explanations for your weight gain. Age decreases metabolism. Dolin (citalopram) can cause weight gain/loss, as can hypothyroid. Titrating the correct level of thyroid replacement med according to blood levels can resolve this issue. Talk to your Dr for an Exam and to discuss this symptom
