I am a 29 y/o guy and was on Mirt for around 8 months for a bout of anxiety and depression (the last 2 months I was coming off them). They helped me out of the hole I was in but during that time I gained around 15 kg (33 lbs). I am very active running most days and playing sport 3 days a week so this was a horrible thing to happen. I came off the Mirt because of the weight gain and found I felt much better off them anyway.

I have been off them for around 6 months and have not lost any of the weight I gained.

I have been more active since coming off and eating well and have even cut out alcohol for the last month and still no weight has come off.

Please help

Has anyone experienced anything similar?

Did you eventually lose the weight?

Do I just need to give my body more time to get back to normal?

This is really f*****g disheartening, any advice is very much appreciated.
