Does weight gain continue forever?

Posted by shar on August 29, 2000, at 14:15:40

I hadn't noticed much of a weight gain on ADs until I lost my job, my anxiety skyrocketed and stayed there, and I started consuming massive quantities of food. I've gained about 20 pounds since June. I am about the size of a small house or a tool shed.

I wonder if weight gain due to ADs continues forever, or does one finally plateau? I'm not really sure that mine is so much AD related as overeating related.

To my experience, if you can control a little what you eat (no sugar, no oil, and not to much) the weight increase should stop after several weeks, but not decrease until you don't stop your med or change it.
