    On Pristiq and gaining weight and stretch marks
    Hi , I'm LaceD,
    I have been on the antidepressant Pristiq for about 6months now . The medicine is working very well for me and I am leading a very happy life... but I am gaining so much weight . I have never had a problem with my weight and now I'm kind of porkin out . I have been eating so good for the past few months and I just started working out... I just keep packing on the pounds and I am getting so many stretch marks I have no idea what to do and its so very embarrassing . I am a 23yr old newly wed and it kills me because I never feel sexy. I have been on other antidepressants and this is by far the best but I am starting to wonder if my mental health is worth my physical health and confidence.Please help me out .

    You need to check with your dr about an effective diet for people who gain weight from meds.
    One thing would be eat a lot more fresh fruits and vegetables
    And avoid junk food, processed foods, sugar and drinks with artificial sweeteners
