I stopped antidepressants about 6 months ago to see if that would help. I ve had thyroid tested its in normal range. I m at a loss and very frustrated. It s affecting my life like no other I am 56 and about 20lbs heavier than I d like to be. Weight gain has happened over last year! I ve had three back surgeries and take hydrocodone and methadone for pain. I have a strict pain management physician.
