Hello everyone and Happy Thanksgiving! I am trying to gain weight but also have extreme anxiety! I bought the Ensure drinks to help me gain weight and I was wondering if these drinks will make me more anxious? Please let me know!

I drank ensure plus to gain some weight I had loss during an anxious period. I am naturally very thin and get very self concious when I lose weight. I have gained a little more weight since getting off the paxil again. What helps most though is learning to focus on eliminating the anxiety as opposed to gaining the weight. The weight gain seems to happen naturally when the anxiety is under control.

Hey Jenny,

Look for the sugar content.You should go high in protein or if you want to, a weight lifters drink.As always talk to your doctor first.
