Today, I found out the medications my doctor gave me for depression are making me fat. My main reason for depression is an eating disorder. Now, I'm fat instead of just thinking I am. FML

Yeah, but jolly fat people are better than sad fat people! Seriously, though, go to a specialist on eating disorders. You're aware you have one, aware you need help.. Now get the help, if you can afford it. Otherwise, talk to your doctor. There's different meds you can try, and differrnt methods. Exercise can help your depression, and it MIGHT help your self-image.

There's plenty more depression pills to choose from. Don't get too down in the dumps OP (:

you should be doing something about it rather than submitting an FML.

Yes, because posting a FML takes up SO much time that OP couldn't POSSIBLY find the time to go to her doctor.

That's terrible there is different depression pills ask your doctor for a different prescription because this one isn't working for you.

Comments like this are why depressed people are reluctant to get help.

Ask them for a different prescription, like other people said. Some make you gain weight, some make you lose weight, and some don't affect your weight at all. You just have to keep trying until you find one that works for you. Also, counseling would probably be an excellent addition to your medication. It's been shown that therapy + meds have the best results (fot most people, anyway). Good luck! I know how tough battling depression can be.

My mother had to go on hormone therapy. The first medication type she received made her get a bad allergic reaction. Can she sue for that? No! You just switch pills...

she's probably still in middle school from the looks of things, it's not really nice to make fun of kids.

It's not making fun of them when they're morons who are one day going to be involved in society.

...except many people need to take antidepressants for the rest of their lives, plus waiting would be miserable for the op. Their best bet is to try a different pill. As someone on an SNRI myself, I know how hard it can to go off one prescription and onto another, but it can be worth it. And before some smartass tells me it's "SSRI," I'm on a slightly newer class of antidepressants called serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors.

Also, its not instantaneous weight loss. You don't get off the pill and suddenly you're thin. Those pills mess with your brain chemistry, weaning off them could potentially put Op at risk.
