I Am Insecure

Recently my medication for my ptsd has been changed and one of the side effects is that you gain weight. I have gain about six pounds in last 2 weeks and I am feeling insecure about my body. I am use to being lean as in having a decent looking body but I have been feeling fat even though I go to the gym about 4 times a week. This makes me feel undesirable which makes me feel sad. This medication has really been helping me though in relation to my anxiety and emotions but this weight things is making me feel insecure. I guess I just got to watch out more of what I eat and exercise for more time at the gym. I don't know if I should speak to my psychiatrist about changing my medication because honestly I would much rather have a sane mind but at the same time this extra weight is making me sad and insecure.

Get it changed. It's all about doing what makes you feel comfortable.

I, too, have gained weight on a psychiatrically prescribed medication. My psychiatrist allows me about 5 min. when I go in to see him. I skipped my last appointment because it's depressing to be ignored. No one noticed. Next time I go in, I will request that he change my meds...if he has time. It's Kaiser, so what can I say? The doc tells me he has a thousand patients.

@greenmountaingal I am so sorry to hear that. I have Kaiser to but my appts always last about 3o to 45 minutes, he always aske me questions to about life in general. Maybe its tha psychiatrist who lacks empathy.
