Guest guest Posted September 17, 2002 Report Share Posted September 17, 2002 Are there many of you taking Prozac or any other anti-depressant/anti- anxiety drugs? Are you also getting counseling? I have been thinking about getting some counseling but wonder if he/she would want me to take Prozac or Paxil. I just wanted to get an idea of what you are going through out there. I don't want to be medicated. I know I am dealing with issues created because of losing the weight. I am aware that because I am thinner I don't settle for things like I did. I want to work on achieving what I always dreamed about but thought was impossible. I know I am not unique in my feelings. I think part of my frustration is figuring out what I need to do to work on what I want and to prioritize my goals. I have found myself unsatisfied with my work/pay. I have never had a romanitc life (because I was fat since 5yrs old!)and want it now! I want to still lose 40+ lbs but have not been able to lose below 205! I want plastic surgery but need to lose weight to make it more effective, which I have not been able to lose nor do I have the money. But I need to look better to attract a man and finally feel confident about my body. So there are many new issues that spring from losing the weight and I hope doctors are not trying to medicate us instead of working on issues. Many primary doctors are prescribing these anti-anxiety drugs but they are not the right ones to work on the issues with you. Your feedback is appreciated, V. 157lbs lost 2yrs 3mos out.
