I currently am taking an antidepressant after giving birth to twins screwed up my hormones. I am wondering if taking the antidepressant will interfere with the HCG?

my husband takes paxil and has had no problems

[encunnibriG]

I am taking wellbutrin

rebostler, part of the effect of hcg is an antidepressant effect. you should be ok, but if you are doing this through a clinic, make sure you tell them you are taking welbutrin. Don't change anything quickly, but you might notice you need less of your welbutrin while on hcg. Know your body, know your life and yourself. You can do this!!!! hang in there

I was hoping that this diet would reset my body and I would no longer have to take an antidepressant. I was going to try and no longer take them while on the diet and see if I can regain my sanity without a pill, but if it doesn't come I didn't want to screw up the diet.... I have high hopes of getting my pre-baby body back.

I was taking zoloft before and now I don't ned it!

i was taking effexor during R1- after having some success with weight loss and feeling better about myself for getting thinner and being in control, i started weaning off (i had been on it for 12 years!). i've just completed R2, and have now been totally off effexor for over a mo. my weight loss was the same/day in R1 and R2, so i don't think it will affect your loss.

So glad I found this. I have heard the withdraw from Effexor can be very severe...

[Chubrehege]

Yeah Effexor is hardcore stuff! I took it for about a year and a half... I think Effexor made me feel MORE crazy!!! I know on HCG I am super happy & for the most part very "up" about life. Recently however... the past year... I have been dealing with very severe PMDD symptoms =( Unfortunately tho... the HCG doesn't help with that. I was recently put on Prozac the week before & during my period only to help keep my hormone levels up during my cycle... I hope it works!

I gained all my weight while on Effexor! Like, I'm talking 90lbs gained.
I was on it for about 18months.

I have mixed feelings about it because I was in a really bad place, but the weight has not left me since then (surprise surprise, I'm here). Anyway, knowing what I do now, I'd always try my very very very best to come up with any solution than being on anti-depressants again (for me of course, others are different)

I had very bad withdrawl

Jayy - Yeah I gained 30 pounds while on Paxil & just continued to gain while on Effexor. I SO wish I was in a better place at that time to have made a clearer decision about being on these particular anti-depressants. In talking to my doctor recently about the PMDD... apparently Paxil & Effexor are the "big guns" of the anti-depressant world! I know I was in a BAD BAD place dealing with having been wrongly accused in my job & everything else horrible you could imagine. This unfortunately lasted about 5 years with the first 3 being the worst. I am better off now since everything is over but trying to loose the weight I gained is almost impossible! One little mess up & things just creep back up!

The way I look at it is, it kept me alive, basically. Things were that bad for me, that I was actually just trying to keep going. Eat, sleep, breathe, was all I did for 18 months. So, I can't regret it. I eventually got out of that awful place (and am thankful every day for that), but this is my reminder that I was there! I too wish I could've had another option or made a better decision, but I'm not sure there was one.

Ah well, the past is the past. Can only move onwards and upwards, and lose this dreaded weight, ditch anti-depressants for life, and be the happy healthy people we're supposed to be

I take cymbalta and don't have any problems losing.
