mirtazapine undid like a year of weight loss progress in under two months and then some; put me back up to the most I’ve ever weighed. I’m off it now and in a better place, but now I gotta get back to it. and the anal fissure doesn’t help ‘cause now I can’t bike anymore until that shit goes away, which has been taking forever to get fully treated.
now it’s boring, accessible treadmills for me and calorie counting all over again. 7 pounds down, 30 more to go.
You probably just need to find the right exercise. Sounds crazy, but playing drums for example also counts as exercise, and at least to me is highly addictive.
The “runners high” can also be kinda addictive (or more generally of your favourite sport)
Apart of that, Psychedelics may also be worth a try, they seem very promising in research currently. But don’t mix them with SSRIs…
My wife has been on a variety of meds for anxiety and depression over the last 10ish years, none of which should lead to weight gain. Multiple doctors told her “you’re just gaining weight because you can enjoy food again, now the depression is under control”. Horse shit. We did calorie counting, she was gaining weight even at 1100-1200 calories per day and daily exercise. Switched meds, and she lost 30 pounds in a matter of a few months. Fucking doctors, man.
With the amount of different meds they have available I’m sure there’s one.
When I first went to the doc about my anxiety over the course of 1 year they had me try 15 different anti-anxiety meds before I threw in the towel and said “None of these are working for me and I need to stop this for a little while as it’s really fucking with me.”
About a year later I got diagnosed with ADHD and started meds for that and suddenly my anxiety was in check. In 3 years I’ve only had 2 panic attacks vs nearly weekly ones before. It also feels like I went from going through life on Legendary difficulty to something like Medium. Or put another way: it’s like I went from playing Dark Souls 3 to playing Witcher 3.

I wish I didn’t hate exercise so much.

Do they have one to increase the urgency to not be a fat ass?
