Although regular exercise routines and healthy eating habits can maintain your weight, your core weight usually goes up the worse your hypothyroidism is.Īnd like you said, thyroid disorders are genetic. When you're hypothyroid (not enough thyroid hormone), you have a tendency to gain weight. When I went on methimazole (a thyroid hormone suppressor), I gained weight. I am hyperthyroid (too much thyroid hormone for those who don't know), so I've always been skinny. I'm not sure what you mean by 'normal weight-wise.' I think you mean will you gain weight with a thyroid disorder. Goodluck to all of you, and best wishes.you are NOT ALONE!!! Our brains are going through a chemical shift, and it takes time for our bodies to adjust, but afterwards (so I've heard) we will feel better than we did before. You are not alone, these are normal, and it will improve. So fellow (or future) Zoloft takers, if you feel this y not to be overly alarmed. This "feeling" scared me, but I was relieved to hear from my doctor, family, and friends that this is a common side affect of Zoloft(heck, try googling it).which is affecting the chemicals of your brain associated with the sending of messages, and feelings. I even get unsettled looking in the mirror. Depersonalization not only affects my touch, but also certain sounds, and sights. I'm not saying that you should be afraid to start taking Zoloft, it's worked wonders on some of my friends and family, but you should be prepared for a few weeks of "abnormal" side affects. A more common then you think side affect to Zoloft(and other drugs). since I never know where I put my keys).so what is it? "Depersonalization". However, I don't have problems talking.I don't have trouble seeing.I don't have trouble remembering(well, long term. It seems as though I had a stroke, and lost all sense of touch, and have to relearn everything by retouching everything. It's extremely unsettling, yet I seem calm. Every time I touch my nose, scratch my arm, or move my tongue around in my mouth.the feeling seems "NEW" and "not right". Now imagine it wasn't just one spot, but that it was your entire body.well, that's how it feels for me. You could spend hours feeling the spot with your tongue, and each time it still felt "not right", and NEW. Remember when you were a kid and you got your first tooth taken out. These side affects, as annoying as they are, is nothing compared to my feeling of "depersonalization".ĭepersonalization, for me, is characterized by feelings of unreal proportion. I no longer have "panic attacks" in terms of rapid breathing and fast heartbeat, but it has been a drain on my energy, dramatically affected my appetite, and has messed up my sleep routine. Zoloft seems to already be helping by calming me down, however the short term side affects are unsettling. Today was my first day back to school after missing 5 school days. I recently began taking Zoloft due to having my first panic attack last week, and "anxiety" wise it has helped. Depersonalization is a sympton most commonly felt 3 days to 2 weeks after taking Zoloft(and other drugs, it's even a side affect of just anxiety), and is experienced by many people (including myself). This is a disturbing experience that I feel is not properly talked about on this website. I just wanted to inform people taking Zoloft (for anxiety) of a frightening, but HARMLESS side affect called "depersonalization".
