Will Milk Thistle Help?

[Ty]

 I've been on lexapro (antidepressant) 10 mg/day for two months and, as a result, have had lots of side effects, two of which were lack of appetite, but still have gained a LOT of weight.I began eating a lot less and still gained weight and could not get rid of it. I have decreased the dose slowly and I'm off it for a week now. I feel a little bit more hungry. Only eating healthy food, but the weight won't just go away. I've heard people complaining about the same, and some of them say that they cannot lose weight, even after stopping lexpro. I began Milk Thistle today, hoping this will help to clean the liver and remove the antidepressant completely from my body. Will this help? If so, how long will it take and how much of it do I need? I think I'll go with 900 mg/day. Is there anything else i can use? Getting really depressed on this. 

Thanks

Hi Ty,
There are many things that you can do to combat depression, and the first would be to get to a qualified health care practitioner that you trust.  This could be a naturopath, acupuncturist, etc.  There is a lot of help out there, so don't be afraid to ask a local practitioner.
