I am back on meds for depression I am concerend about the supplements I am
I was finally released from the hospital and its very hard for me to write this but I have an illness and it almost got me. I am looking better but there are too many people telling me negative things on top of all my other personal problems just became too much. Today is my first day back on meds and this means that I cant take alot of my supplements that has helped me along the way. I know I cant continue to use fatburners ( dialene) I was wondering if there is a safe stimulant free fatburner I can take with my meds ok its Prozac?? What about my xtend and vasocharge?? I read the label on the vaso charge and it advises me not to take it but the Xtend seems to be ok. THis is tough thing Im going thru but I have found happiness in workingout and getting in shape and I dont want to stop its really the only thing that keep me happy right now thanks everyone!

Girl, first off, you’re in my prayers. There’s a history of depression in my family, and I’ve experienced how it can take you out. That being said, working out will really be your salvation. As far as meds and supps, I really think Creatine or Xtend are the only ones that you should safely mix with the Prozac; not a Dr, but just my opinion from reading the labels.

Hey I just wanted to say that I totally understand what you are going through. My father passed away in Jan of 2008 and it was traumatic for me. He had a heart attack at our home, and I was the one who found him. That being said, I was put on anti-depressants for PTSD. Mine was also an anti-anxiety. I joined Bodyspace b/c my meds made me gain 30 lbs in a little less than a year. I was mourning my father, and in conjunction with the meds, I found comfort in food. I don’t know about Prozac, but my meds made it harder for me to lose weight, and easier to gain. I am new to supplements, but I would say stick to a solid exercise program. Looking back at what I did wrong, I know that I should have exercised more. It will help you stay focused, and help you release stress. You are in my thoughts–good luck!

You should be ok taking the Xtend. I still use my meds for HBP but i’ve had no issues continuing the Xtend. I would definately stay away from the fat burners for now. You really shouldn’t be using them continuously anyway. Fat burners are really meant to be taken periodically, not all the time. I would take this time to look into new and exciting ways to create meals. Be inventive with spices, and different meats, or fish. It could improve your mood through creation, and its fun to do. I truly hope you feel better soon.
Peace!!
