    I have lost 2 stone in a month due to not feeling the need to eat i like it as i was a size 18 at christmas and i have just brought a new size 14 suit.

    I have been on cit 4 months the weight loss has oonly just started.

    Hope this helps

    Hi

    i have lost 2 1/2 stone most of it while i was on cit, but also as they thought i had bowel cancer too which didn't help.(xmas was just loads of test and hardly any food)

    I just didn't get hungry on cit.

    I'm a size 12 now was 16

    hi, thanks for your replies. I've gained almost a stone on citalopram. My eating habits are good. I will just have to try harder.

    Hi Newbee

    I really think we would all like to feel better ,if we should change our diets for the positive why not? most of sufferers I have been in touch with have lost weight, probs because we are worried/anxious/panicky ,

    I personally would say not to worry about your weight loss unless you are size 10 going to size 6 then get some advice!!!

    Are you happy with the size you are or are you worried ?

    Keep safe and happy

    Hi everyone

    Have lost weight takin cit, pleased about that cos my backside was huge :lol:

    Luckily my hubby loves me big or small.

    Been getting lots of exercise at work, doing on average 5 mile a day ( got a pedometer ) eating plenty of salads and fruit and veg.

    Feel great, no heartburn, sleeping better and even got new hairstyle which really cheered me up. :D

    Still have couple of drinks on a saturday night but as everyone will know ya can't handle loads cos of meds.

    Anyway so far lost 6 pounds and counting, eating better and exercise really does seem to agree with the tablets. smile

    Take care and keep smiling.
