I need to lose 60 pounds. I am a 35 yr
old female who gained 60 lbs over the past
4 yrs due to anti-depressants like paxil
and effexor.
Now my doc said he will give me adipex for
weight loss. I can't wait to take it and
get started !! I know it is not the
healthiest choice, but it is only
temporary until I lose the 60 lbs, and
then learn a new eating lifestyle.
I also suffer fro depression. I sarted
taking wellbutrin xl.
Any comments ideas are welcome.

Gaining weight is easier than loosing it
& 60lbs is allot to loose... It will
be very hard work & a complete change
of lifestyle is needed! Your depression
will certainly have a hold on how well you
stick to your new lifestyle - it's all
well & good to have pills from the dr
but is your mind mentally ready - are you
motivated! I have pcos & have
suffered loads with weight gain, tried
every magic potion there is but at the end
of the day calorie counting & lots of
exercise is the only way! Even then it's
hard work & a long haul but i'm sure
you can do it... Just think if you try
really hard & loose 2lb per week you
could have that 60lb off by the end of the
year & you will feel so different it
might even help with the depression!
Good luck... Xxx
