First off, You don't need Meds ! And as far as eating goes, if you really want to , you can turn it around, just don't starve yourself to do it, just change what you eat. Stay away from anything with Flour , High Fructose Corn Syrup, Fat, and Sugar. Also, read Labels. And if you can't pronounce it, don't eat it ! I didn't think that I could do any of that either. http://www.newstarget.com/ turned my whole attitude toward Food and medicine around.You have got to read through this with an open Mind.Better yet, subscribe to the free on-line Newsletter.I sure am glad I did ! Hope this helps !

most antidepressants don't cause weight gain- they actually make you lose a few pounds. Anti-psychotics and mood stabilizers( i.e lithium) might make you gain a little, some or a lot of weight. It depends on the pill.

Antidepressants of any kind can increase your weight gain. It's a crappy side effect, but it's inevitable unfortunately. Maybe switch to a different medication and you won't gain as much.
