Is it worth staying on my antidepressant if it increases my appetite? I’m already unhealthy and overweight, and it’s a big source of depression for me, but now I’m eating more. I don’t mind being a bit overweight, but now I’m gaining MORE weight bc of it

maybe discuss an appetite suppressant with your doctor to take in combination with your antidepressant? :)

Basically it’s just making me want to snack way more throughout the day and night, and idk if it’s worth staying on it. It’s so hard to ignore hunger even when you know it’s unhealthy. I’m learning to accept that I’m chubby, but I’m not sure how to combat the unhealthy eating habits this antidepressant is leading to. It’s escitalopram (Lexapro)
