Do you have a pretty stable diet and/or exercise regime?
I only ask because, in my opinion there are many reasons one can gain weight over the coarse of 7 years; not only due to a slower metabolism or changes in physical activity, but as we age it may seem like it requires more effort to maintain your appropriate weight.
I'm sure some of the side effects associated with the medications your taking are playing a big role in this as well. To really know for sure though, you'd probably have to turn to other more natural alternatives for Escitalopram, Valium, and Propranolol. I know based on your description you've been taking these medications for quite some time, but in my opinion they all have the ability to effect your lifestyle in so far as not being able to take control of your weight and other related conditions such as hypertension. No pun intended at all.
Hypertension can be directly treated with a proper diet and depression or anxiety ultimately can be treated by changing what it is that is causing the depression or anxiety. The underlying factors that cause these in the first place are what should be treated from my own point of view.
This relates to weight management, in that, if you can take control of your life, then you can also take control of your weight if you so desire to. I'm speaking from personal experience and am only offering this advice as being raw and straight down to the nitty gritty of it. You can interpret it in whichever way you please, but I am just trying to help by showing you that there are ways around any problem.
In any case, if you are open to any natural alternatives or need more advice on what I've already stated above, then please post back and I'll do my best to help! Thanks for reading this.
