Going off meds?

Going off meds?

Hi guys
Ive checker the scales once again and im still gaining weight and its only been aince i started these new meds.

I dont know what to do. The weight gain isnt good for mental or physical health but i cant budge it. I was warned id probably gain just a few kgs when i firstly started but ive gained a whopping 15kgs
I know alot of that is also because ive been abit lazy but geez in only 4 months ive been on them im questioning if its worth it anymore!.

They work fantastic for my anxiety and depression but if i go off them i know what will happen and it wont end well. Ive already changed meds 3 times and i dont want to change anymore.

Actually both of my tablets cause weight gain!
The first ones made me sick and shed the kgs like flies but these ones are shocking for weght gain

What would you do? Im stuck. I know your not health professionals i want peer advice on what the heck to do cause its stressing me more having all this weight put on

Im going to increase my exercised to an extra hour a day as well but my god 15kg in only 4 months is ridiculous!!
