Okay so my doctor just started me on this medication for Plavix, which is an anti-anxiety medication. I've been struggling with an eating disorder for awhile now, and whether the eating disorder IS the cause of the anxiety, or the anxiety is causing the eating disorder is something I'm unsure of. I'm currently seeing a nutritionist to help me with my eating, and it's going a bit better. However, I continue to be preoccupied with my weight, especially since I've stopped swimming. I mean I alternate days doing running and strengthening videos though. Anyways, I just read online that one of the side effects of the medication he gave me is weight gain. I've read some stories online where people are saying that they've gained anywhere from 10 to 40 pounds on this medication!
I know it's supposed to help me but a lot of my anxiety COMES from my preoccupation with my weight and if the medicine causes me to gain, I feel like that would sort of defeat the purpose of it.
Any ideas on what to do?
