Advice for postpartum depression & meds that don't hinder weightloss???
I am back at my heaviest weight ever after giving birth to a beautiful boy last October. I am also suffering from anxiety issues (so extreme they leave me paralyzed and my husband and I end up screaming at each other). I am in the process of finding a shrink, but wanted to know if anyone had any advice on certain meds that tend to increase appetite more than others. I have been on Celexa, Effexor and Welbutrin in the past, but I don't really rememebr if any of those made me more hungry. I am very much an emotional eater, and a reluctant exerciser right now. The 45-minute dog walk is the max I feel up to doing lately, and even that is a chore I trade off with my husband sometimes. I really, really really don't want a med that increases appetite b/c I know I'll just turn into Jabba the Hutt, with a plate of cheese and crackers and a box of chocolates, glued to the couch watching old sitcoms and bad judge shows until I go back to work in a few weeks.
