#I’ve been on Prozac for like 4 years now and it’s worked well#first antidepressant I went on in hs was lexapro and it made me gain 20 lbs in 2 months#that’s 9kg and a dangerous rate of weight gain#after some messing around we settled on Prozac and I’d gained 50 lbs in those few years#because it upped my appetite so much and made me crave sugar like an absolute demon#I don’t put any stock in BMI stuff but the cutoff for obese is when health issues start to appear#I reached that level just before I started adderall and I got concerned#I didn’t want to buy new clothes bc I definitely don’t have the money#and I got acid reflux for the first time in my life and it has been really bad#there’s no reason for it I can find but I know a lot of acid reflux is weight related#that in of itself is a huge incentive to lose some weight. my throat huuurts and I’m on a higher rx dose of esomeprazole rn to see#if it will go away or if it’s suddenly a chronic thing#and then a few months ago I started adderall which is an appetite reducer#and it balanced out the Prozac so magnificently#I don’t crave sugar anymore#I don’t spend all day thinking about what I’m gonna eat#it feels really freeing#because there was no way I was going to stop taking an antidepressant and other kinds just didn’t work#the weight gain was really the only negative side effect so I was willing to ride it out#but now it’s balanced out and it’s so much better for me#I’ve lost 20 lbs and I’m back into the overweight category#so go me 🥳#I can keep candy around and it’ll actually last a while#instead of being gone in like 2 days#and I’m not worried about outgrowing all my clothes#I was this close to having to buy an entirely new set of shit to wear because it was getting tight#honestly that was one of my biggest concerns cuz I definitely do NOT have the money for that#val comes out of hiding#tw food#tw weight
