It is one of the ironies of antidepressants: They boost a person's spirits while depressing their metabolism. Even though the brain-body mechanism is still a mystery, a study review by German researchers identified the mood meds most likely to cause this side affect. These include: Aventyl (nortiptyline), Paxil (paraxetine), and Remeron (mirtazapine). If one of these are prescribed to you ask your doctor about a possible switch to Wellbutrin (butropion), which can actually raise your metabolism.
This suggestion came from Men's Health Magazine. Although I posted earlier in the week I was going to offer these suggestions; with some thought, this will be the last time. I am not a big proponent of the use of drugs and do not wat to promote this use on this blogpage. I believe many time this is a cover up for a more underlining problem that can be addressed and treated with other measures.
I'll share some of those suggestions in future posts.
