Feeling really down! At laat i am back on meds for mental problems and i have picked up 4 pounds! ;-( this in under 2 weeks.

I am supposed to lose, not gain!

This freaks me out!

Please do not worry. Weight gain is not abnormal and you will also have weight stalls. Keep taking your medicine.

Lighten up! Once the meds kick in and your emotional condition stabilizes, you will be far more able to eat according to plan and exercise, without emotional distractions. That will enable you be much more successful. Just be a little patient and kind with yourself for a couple of weeks! Good luck!

They put me on amyltiptline for my migraines...gained three lbs, my surgeon assured me that this is temporary and there's no way I'll not lose weight if I stay on track. Give your body a time to even out, stay on the right nutritional track, and it will all turn out ok. I can't afford not to be on my meds...

Amitriptyline will make you gain! I am 1 1/2 years out and also fake it for migraines. I had it changed to norotriotyline which does not cause hungar or crave sweets.

At this point, I only tried this med for a little while..I have vestibular migraines which cause stroke symptoms....really messing with my life. I'll ask my neurologist about switching if it doesn't work or makes me gain anymore...thanks for the tip!
