Would you like to lose a few pounds of weight?

This is not the best way. Lol

side note: Paxil completely stopped my normal erections and my libido for years while I took it. I didn't know. No one told me. I figured it out myself when I ran out of Paxil for a month. During that month my normal erections and libido came back.

I don't know if women have similar side effects, but they should find out. I want to spread the word to everyone. Like I wished someone had done for me.

Most of my 32 pound weight loss since May 18th was due to two days of vomiting huge amounts of bile, a gall bladder/gall stone attack and a gall bladder/stone removal.

I lovingly made the name 'gallstone diet' for it's weight loss chacteristics. Lol You can see how much I've lost by looking at my face in my profile photos. I think it sunk in for me when I posted the Titusville, FL photo. The green shirt and dark glasses one.

I couldn't eat solid food for over a week. Just liquids. I think a recent change in a depression medication, that I take everyday from Paxil to Bupropion, could be causing my huge lack of appetite and weight loss now. It's very nice side effect of a psychiatric med, all the rest are bad. Lol

I lost what I think would be like carrying one concrete block in each hand and walking around with them all the time. By now it might be like carrying two blocks in each hand. Lol

I feel so much lighter. Whew!
I don't recommend losing weight this way, though. Just a friendly neighborhood fyi.

Pills are some wicked shit.

Haha! Yup I just stick my to prescribed ones

@JohnINFP I hardly take even ibuprofen

@NothinnXpreVails That's great if you have no ailments. More power to you! So many of family, have had bad health surprises in the last 12 months : (

@JohnINFP word. I’m developing the arthritis in my left knee, so I actually have been taking ibuprofen and acetaminophen doses lately. I HATE it so intensely ?

@NothinnXpreVails oh. sorry to hear that. Hope there's a way for you to feel better soon. Wonder if there is an operation or treatment to fix your knee.

@JohnINFP nah, man, it’s just arthritis. Gotta do the rest of your time with that.

Careful with that bupropion! I was prescribed it to quit smoking 10 years ago. The doctor told me it was a 'cheap dirty drug' but he'd like to try it before giving me the expensive stuff. A week later I was in hospital with an upper lip the size of a tennis ball. They called it an allergic reaction, but to this day it's the only medicine I have an allergy to and I've been through a serious amount of meds since then! It also lists in the notes (at least it does in the UK) that its not suitable during weight loss or something, I forget the exact details, so it may not be a good time for you to be taking it. But do some research on that I'm far from sure of my facts. Congratulations on the weight loss though ?

decreased libido, delayed or anorgasmia are common side effects of the drugs classed as ssri's

Thank you for the info! I've got read the fine print more carefully!

@JohnINFP if a practitioner is talking to someone that is severely depressed it is a hard side effect for them to consider

@btroje Yes someday maybe generations from now I hope there will be cures for mental illnesses instead of pills
Brain is so complicated
