Hi. I'm new here. I've been doing Atkins off and on since March. I really like it b/c before I would always have problems with my blood sugar suddenly bottoming out and feeling like I was going to pass out...becoming extremely irritable when hungry, and having no energy. All of that has worked out soooo much better since doing the low carb thing that it makes it worth it to me even if I never lose a pound.

Well, I've been taking Paxil since my youngest daughter was about 3 months old. My doctor felt I had slight post partum depression and I feel so much better now that I'm taking them. Since I was post partum, I had a little weight to lose. I've done ok but I still have roughly 10 pounds to go. I've heard so many horror stories about how anti-depressants cause your metabolism to go down, etc...I guess I'm just looking for some encouragement.

I know that it seems really difficult for me to lose those last few pounds and soo so easy to gain.
