Hmm, you have the choice of being depressed, or the choice of being fat and happy. Which will you pick? BUM BUM BUMMM!

Are you depressed because you're gaining weight?

I'd go for the one that includes weight gain.

Three medications?? Dang I only have to take one low dose a day. How depressed are you?

I def think 3 is excessive! One should be plenty I would think. Or if need be, maybe a stronger dosage of whichever one doesn't cause op to gain weight. I can't help but feel like three mixed together would be unsafe.

46, on your post you commented saying people shouldn't take pills to avoid their problems. I guess upping the dose until something unknown happens is cool, though.

#46 You have entirely too many comments on this thread, and every time I see them I think "man, this chick AGAIN!?" Is it really necessary to be ALL OVER this entire thread?

I think that if op IS gonna take the meds then it's prob safer to take one strong dose as opposed to three that each give her crazy side effects. Only seems logical...I still think she should face her problems face on and talk to a therapist (more if she has one already) and find things that make her happy so she doesn't become self reliant on them..they only mask issues. Don't solve them.

If three is a lot then, dang. What do you think about the eleven different meds I take?

All three medications probably aren't for depression. Most likely one is for depression and the other two are for related symptoms like sleep issues, anxiety, panic attacks, etc.. 69- So instead of treating hormone imbalances in the brain, people with depression should just find stuff to make them happy? How about a puppy? That works until it dies. A man? Depending on a person to keep you happy for the rest of your life creates such a great relationship. Food? Or creating massive debt by buying pretty things? If OP's doctor prescribed her medication, obviously it was the best thing for her.

Mine "may cause drowsiness." I sleep about 15 hours out of the day bc of it.. But it's better than crying bc your favorite shoes were misplaced. Or even worse, for absolutely no reason.

Don't know how happy I'd be if I gained weight, to be honest.

I have to wonder.. Is this your excuse for gaining a bunch of weight than being to lazy to work it off? When the medication says "may cause weight gain" that usually means (maybe, MAYBE) 20 pounds max... Can't blame the pills.. Eat less calories than you burn. Now stay fit and have fun ;)
