major depressive disorde
"I am on 5mg of Abilify and 100mg of Pristiq.   I have been on this combination for about a year.   As a result, I've been the happiest I have been in many years of struggling with severe depression.  HOWEVER,  I'm torn.   I recently recovered from a very severe eating disorder after 30 years!   My weight in a lifetime has been as low as 70lbs and as high as 120lbs. I am 5' 3".  NOW after a year of recovery from the eating disorder AND taking the Abilify and Pristiq,  I have gained over 50lbs!!!!  As you can imagine,  I am totally freaked out.  I suffer from arthritis and it is very difficult to exercise, although I try.  At any rate, I don't know what to do.   I feel great,  but the weight gain is overwhelming and I'm still gaining! HELP!!!"
