Please be very careful when taking anti depressants, my husband committed suicide 2 months ago, after beginning on an antidepressants for nine days. For 7 days he took his prescription on the eighth day they changed his dosage, and did not monitor him, by day 9 he was erratic, and shot himself.
If you can stick to Holistic medicines, chiropractic care, and a regular visit to a psychiatrist or counselor for your emotional state. Please think very carefully about what you are doing before starting on any drug.
You can try taking magnesium, which can cause loose stools, but really does the trick, and as for the weight loss, I have successfully loss weight by simply eating several small meals during the day of healthy foods, don't starve yourself, eat what you want just portion control, and try not to eat after 6 pm ( Yeah I know with a family, right.) Apple cider vinegar and pure raw honey also helps when you want to control your appetite. It doesn't taste so great but it does work. My grandmother who is a retired airforce nurse has been preaching this for years, only 2 years ago did I listen. I'm 33.
Most importantly your mood, and self image affect you greatly. The more active you are the less time you have to let you mind wonder those what ifs and dwell on those negative things that can affect who you are. Just one day a week STOP!!!! Take time out for yourself, Go out and get your toes done, let that hair down girl. You've only got one life to live, don't let it pass you by. God Bless You. You will make it thru.
