I am 17 years old and I went to my doc today and apparently I have gained over 20kgs (44lbs), and I am now classified as obese. I have never been underweight, never been average weight, but generally I border on the boundaries of overweight and average... So this has come as a HUGE shock.
I have severe depression, and have recently changed meds AGAIN, and because of depression, I guess I comfort eat sometimes, but gaining that much weight within like a couple of weeks is REALLY not normal is it?
I am trying to eat healthier again but it's hard because of the depression and the fact that I feel so fat and ugly.
It's especially hard being in high school...
Has anyone else had any HUGE weight gains from medication for depression... I am currently on seroquel and lexapro.
Thanks in advance.
