I am a 5'11 male.
After being on Remeron and Mirtazapine for 7-8 months I went from weighing ~170lbs in October to weighing 237+ lbs a month or two ago. I know this is many people's target weight, but I have never weighed more than 200 lbs before so it really affected my self esteem... I would exercise and exercise and even be gaining weight on the meds, A) because I got so hungry for junk food every night and B) it messed with my metabolism severely.
I got weighed at a doctors office two weeks ago and I was 232 lbs. I got weighed at the doctors office today and I weighed 227 lbs! It is not that much but it is huge for me!
I feel way better than I did a month and a half ago.
I lost the weight by switching to latuda a month ago (a stupidly expensive medication) and by trying to bike regularly and walk at least two or three times a day in my hilly Austin neighborhood. I have eaten junk food many times a week but mostly have been doing a lot better lately. I could be eating a lot cleaner but I am definitely not eating as many calories as I used to.
Just got into an awful bike crash yesterday, so I will probably not be getting a whole lot of exercise for the next week but it is awesome that my metabolism is finally working properly!
I am not sure this post will help anyone because it is med related weight gain/loss, also never get off meds without a psychiatrist's help.
My goal, in a year from now, is to be at my target weight of 170 lbs. I hope I keep losing the weight! I have honestly been eating whatever I feel like but still lost weight. As I start dieting better I should see more progress.
