Difficulty maintaining body weight after Covid

I had COVID the first week of March 2023 after being boosted to the max. Never lost my sense of smell or taste but had the most vicious headache for three days, that beat any migraine I've ever had. I was taking an new antidepressant for MDD and it was the bomb. My life was on track. When I was hit with COVID the med became less effective, I'm tired all the time and I've gained 18lbs. I can't leave food alone. I am visiting my PCP May 19th for a full blown blood draw and lung x-ray. I have not doubt I'm a long hauler. COVID has taken my life, but I'm still here.

Hi,
How long had you been on the new antidepressant before the weight gain? Antidepressants, anti psychotic and some anti anxiety meds are notorious for causing weight gain. It may not have been the Covid at all. Check with your PCP.
