is there any meds that does not cause weight gain?

It didn't help me lose weight (darnit) but Abilify doesn't cause weight gain. Maybe that is an option for you.

I totally feel for you. I am the same way. They put me on prozac once and I ballooned and haven't been able to come back from it yet. I am doing weight watchers though, which both gets me to eat/behave healthier and gets me out of the house so I don't isolate. I haven't lost a lot yet but at least it is a start.

Don't despair! Remember, if you get yourself to a healthy place, the weight will start to come off. Be patient, though, and concentrate on yourself for a while. Give yourself a break. You deserve it. (((hugs))) --peach

I also do Weight Watchers..I havent started on any meds..But maybe its something you can think about like Peach suggested..Get yourself feeling healthy and maybe you can work on getting the weight off?Not sure if its harder to get weight off when you are taking a weight gaining med..So sorry that i cant help much!Good luck to you,

It will help you feel better when you are on the medication. Then, you'll want to do things again!

I wish you well and a speedy return!

For now, try to at least keep somewhat active, and try to satisfy any cravings you get with healthier rather than junk/fast food (it's very hard I know!). Just taking a walk around your neighborhood in the morning/afternoon if you get the chance will help both with the depression and the weight gain.

It's hard to summon up the strength to get moving in this state, but once you do you'll be amazed at what else you can accomplish that day!
