Weight Gain Using Cylift?

Updated

I am a 42 year old woman and have gained weight on a steadily basis since using cylift. My diet and exercise regime has not changed. Not even dieting can assist because the scale just keeps on creeping up, slowly but surely. Can this be happening to me?

Cilift contains the active ingredient Citalopram, which is an SSRI antidepressant and to be honest, this class of medications is notorious for causing weight gain.

Learn more Cilift details here.

There's really nothing you can do about it, as long as you are taking the medication, but the weight gain does usually reverse once the drug is stopped.

There are other options available. Have you looked into trying a different medication?

Hi, im 38 and have been on this drug for 7 months now, I have gone from 9 stone to 11 stone 5lb and this has now created its own anxiety issues. I have eaten heathily, exercised regulary and nothing will shift the weight. I have asked to drop down to the 10mg from 20mg to see if this helps. I know deep down this was only because of my concern over my weight. Its not a vanity thing, just that none of my clothes fit :(. I feel so very self concious and upset. The drug itself has been brilliant and helped me through some very tough times but now I am left with this weight that will not shift. Im considering stopping them altogther, any help or advice please?
