You need to decide if you want to take the tablets or not. It might be worth talking it over with your doctor tomorrow, but you have to be honest with how you feel so they can prescribe the right medication for you.

To be honest, most of the SSRIs (things like prozac, citalopram etc) have minimal side effects and are pretty weight neutral, and these tend to be the drugs doctors prescribe first.

It's only when you get to the more heavy duty psychiatric medications that side effects and weight gain start to become more problematic.



Isn’t it funny how day by day nothing changes but when you look back, everything is different…

you once called your brain a hard drive, well say hello to the virus.
