Girls, Why have I lost so much weight?

[Anonymous]

I started birth control my freshman year of high school at about 120 pounds. I started it for acne. Almost a year ago (at 18) I decided to stop it finally because I was 150 pounds with acne still. Since then I have slowed dropped weight. Almost 20 pounds. Do you think it is from stopping my birth control? I also take Paxil but I vary my dose so much I'm not sure what it actually does to my weight. The only reason why I want to know is because I want to prevent it from coming back.

A few years ago from permanent not to get enough sleep and overstrains, related to work, insomnia and permanent depressions began. The acquainted doctor advised to drink away the phial of paxil medication me I buy paxil online without prescription in chemist's shop 7daypharmacy.net/paxil-without-a-prescription.html After a few days depressions and alarm passed after his reception, finally began normally to sleep. Only, on what it is important to pay attention, at the use of these pills, so it on getting to the vehicle, that quickly arises up for a man, used. Before to use this antidepressant exactly, visit a doctor and necessarily consulted on this question with him. As for my case, then preparation appeared effective

THE same thing happened to me!! A lot of people thought I was anorexic because I went off it for summer holiday and returned to school, I have no idea why it happened BUT I did gain of half of it back. I got off of BC around 17 and I'm 21 now so there's a few years to gain it back.

You can't really prevent it from coming back, its what your body thinks you should be at, maybe not at your highest weight when you were on it, but the weight you lost happens rapidly so it shocks your body a tad.

hmm, it could be from the BC, but there are a bunch of factors when it comes to weight loss. It could also be from a change in schedule when you left high school. I know that my eating changed when I graduated hs and I ended up losing weight in college because I could eat when I wanted (instead of having a scheduled lunch time, etc.)
You could ask your doctor about the Paxil, or check the info that comes with your prescription - it should mention side effects like weight loss.
