Lisa,
Hi! OK, this guy's a loser. You shouldn't have to see him once a month - just every few months for a med check up. Sh*t, I have had suicidal tendencies in the past and my doctor doesn't make me see him every month. I see him now like every three or four months! This sounds like blackmail to get $$ out of you for the visit or something. And he sounds sick and sadistic. He should be impartial and objective, not yell at you!I gained a lot of weight on Celexa and am now on Effexor. It has helped with the weight gain, as it revs you up and suppresses your appetite in the initial stages.
It sounds as though you're not giving your body enough to eat. It's going in to starvation mode and so is hanging on to every bit of weight (fat). I don't know your weight and height, but you probably should be eating somewhere around 1300-1800 calories a day to lose weight. And of course, eating the right kinds of food (fruits, veggies, whole grains). Good luck and please let us know what happens!
Sarah
