  • Hi Willow and to 3FC's

    There are many many boards here you can join, even one for people who are on anitdepressants (the ladies there are so kind and understanding). They have a weekly/daily chat that you might like http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=76 But its really up to you and where ever your comfortable posting.

    Good Luck !!!!

  • Just wanted to welcome you. Good luck with your weight loss.

    BTW ~ My sister lives in Arkansas too.
  • thanks everyone, I will check out the forum for the folks on antidepressants, it's so nice to be able to talk with others in the same boat as myself.
  • Hi Willow, Welcome!

    Be careful with the Zoloft, That's a real weight gainer there! I took it for like 6 months or so and boy am i sorry that i did! Not only did i gain weight while on it but i didn't even realize it was happening and now i am having withdrawal syndrome from it even tho i weaned off it. My right eye vision is very very dim and i think, i hope that it is the Zoloft that caused it and it will return once my system is restored back to normal again.

    The exercise and healthier eating is all that i needed for my depression. It does wonders!

    Good luck to you. I hope you make the right decision for YOU.
