Beta, these modern medicines can affect your body's natural balance. While you must consult your doctor about weight changes, you can focus on light home-cooked meals and walking regularly to keep your digestion active. Do not make any sudden changes without medical advice.

In my experience, managing mental health is far more crucial than worrying about a few extra kilograms initially. Many times the weight stabilizes once you feel better and start moving more. Trust your doctor and give your body some time to heal.
