I have depression and anxiety for which I have been prescribed an anti-depressant (Vortioxetine), an anti-anxiety (Propranolol) and when they were not helping, I was also prescribed Lithium. The problem I’m having is, I can’t lose weight. I have a lot to lose and I’ve managed to get myself in the zone, but it’s not shifting.
I think this would be slightly more bearable if I felt in a better place mentally but I don’t. I wake up every day not wanting to get up and wondering what the point in anything is. The Psychiatrist is reluctant to change my medication - partly because the change-over period is tough but also because I’ve tried various other tablets. So I’m stuck really.
Have any of you been on Lithium and would be willing to share your weight experiences. TIA
