Dealing with Medication Side Effects
Hello everyone, I'm a newbie in our community and I really appreciate the content contributed throughout time by our members and admins, I really look forward to seeing more of your stories and experiences.
Anyways, I have been on medication for over three years with a constantly changing 5-item prescription. The side effects including extreme fatigue and increased appetite are insane. Most of the time, I just feel like they are ruining my life as I have a lot of daily responsibilities to soberly take care of, and constantly gaining weight also makes me feel like I'm not taking control of my body. I just currently look like a panda.
Does anyone relate or know how to make this a little bit bearable? I'd be extremely grateful for any response.

Hello and welcome! Have you found any help yet? That sounds tough dealing with the side effects and juggling daily life. Are you able to speak with your doctor? Though if your prescription is changing it sounds like that is already happening.
