Doug;

Welcome to the Weight Forum!

I enjoyed the arrival of an extra 30 lbs. due to Lyrica but I choose to stay on it soooo I have to adjust my lifestyle and eating habits. I wasn't ready to do so for a long time but now I've made a commitment using the Weight Watchers method. My husband is right with me which helps a lot.

Good luck to you. Are you battling chronic pain? Is that why you are on neurontin?

Warmest regards,
NancyH

Default Hi! I'm new to this topic!

I was pointed here by a fellow PN sufferer.

I started my lifestyle changes back the end of June. Since then I've lost about 18 pounds. I stopped taking Effexor XR which caused my weight gain in the first place. Actually, the Celexa I was on prior to the Effexor caused the majority of it. I came off the Celexa and had lost 30 pounds and my doctor put me on Effexor, which at the time I did need, and my weight shot up again though never as high as it got on the Celexa. I don't anymore. And the Effexor has also contributed to a major increase in my cholesterol. I refuse to take any drugs for that so I have to make diet and exercise do the job.

After coming off the Effexor and two other drugs the weight simply began coming off mostly on it's own. I am eating much healthier so I know that accounts for some of it too.

Thumbs up

Well, I had a hellacious gain of 3.4 last week and lost half of it this week!!

Finally got a definite dx last week, too: I'm officially hypothyroid. Big s'prise. I started Armour on Wed, and maybe it's just in anticipation of getting better, but I have already noticed a difference!! Maybe I'll actually start losing now!!
