Gym Girl Posted June 18, 2004 #27 Share Posted June 18, 2004 Elaine: I'm going to be 43 soon- and have made exercise a priority for over 20 years. Have to say that my body hasn't changed much over the years. Some days I just don't want to workout, and practically drag myself to the gym- but always feel almost euphoric afterwards. On a side note, I have recently been diagnosed with depression, and am taking both Effexor XR and Gabitril (pardon spelling)- and talk about an appetite suppressant! Absolutely not hungry all day- have to make myself eat. Have lost 5 lbs. Used to look forward to eating certain foods, now it's "whatever."

ElaineB2 Posted June 20, 2004 Author #28 Share Posted June 20, 2004 Thanks Gym Girl - since I posted the original post about 3 weeks ago, I've really gotten motivated and started walking. It's to the point where I look forward to it because I know I'm just not going to lose anything if I don't. True test however, we leave for an Alaskan cruise this AM. I plan on continuing my walking, but we'll see how motivated I'm going to be. Good luck with your medication - hope you start feeling better soon.

Gym Girl Posted June 20, 2004 #30 Share Posted June 20, 2004 Elaine, Thank you! It's been about 3 weeks since I've started taking the meds, & it's beginning to "kick in." Enjoy that wonderful cruise! Betsy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
