Struggling to see a light at the end of the tunnel to be honest.
I was diagnosed with GAD a little over a year ago. My shrink put me on Paroxetine, and it helped to be honest. The problem is I was a big girl to start with, and since starting these tablets I gave gained over 3 stone in one year. I have been on weight watchers for the last 8 weeks combined with 5 hours of exercise and I am still gaining a pound per week on average. I know how hard I am genuinely trying to lose the weight and I have had great success in the past losing weight with ww. I
I figured it could only be the tablets and out of desperation stopped taking them cold turkey 10 days ago. You see, I'm getting married in December and I am 8 inches bigger around the waist then when I bought it. Out of sheer panic I thought I would stop taking them and try to lose the weight, and have a go at life without a crutch.
10 days later I'm a raging angry bitch. Jittery as hell, butterflies in my stomach, bad tummy in general, I feel like I've hit the flu and some points are really low and I feel like I'm at my wits end and i don't know what to do with myself.
I need to lose this weight. My health is severely compromised by how big I am, and yet I can't do it on the meds for some reason. I feel like I have to choose between my physical and mental well being.
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated :)
