Hello all....
 

Hi everyone,

My name is Victoria.

In addition to depression, I have also been diagnosed with OCD, Trichotillomania and GAD. I take luvox CR and abilify daily, both of which have weight gain as side effects.

I previously lost 86 lbs, and then gained it all back when I got into a really bad state.

That's how I tend to cope with depression. I sleep and eat. I want to learn to take it and turn it into the will to exercise and fight....I just don't know how.

I've been much better since I started abilify (I was really bad for a little while) so I know that I need to stay on it, and my Luvox is for my OCD....otherwise I would go off meds just because of weight. But I tried therapy for years without them and it just didn't cut it.

Hope all is well and it's nice to meet all of you. I'd love to hear tips!

Hello! Welcome!

I think Pattience is right to suggest exercise. It helped me a lot with my medicine weight gain!
