In reply to Losing weight after celexa, posted by as6888 on October 9, 2003, at 15:52:57
Hello as6888,
I am currently on 60mgs of Celexa daily. I have been on Prozac too and many other SSRIs and a tricyclic and a couple of other things. With each one I have gained 20-30 lbs and am currently about 25 lbs overweight right now because I could never get it off (except once 7 years ago when I practically starved myself to get to a normal weight). I am not going off any meds anytime soon (if ever) so I can't say if the weight will come off after stopping them, but I can definitely say you are doing all the right things to get the weight off. I think it will just take more time for you. I tried running a lot too and that helped me maintain but did not help me lose. I seem only to be able to lose on a max of
1000 cal. a day, and it is pretty unbearable to do it not to mention exhausting. My suggestion is give it more time and keep up the regimen- my hat is off to you for your hard work!
