i cant speak for anyone else, but many years ago i was put on a/depressants for what they thought was post viral depression. when i was ill i lost weight drastically. after a while of taking the pills i felt tons better...and started eating again like a pig. i think i put on about 3 stone (> 40lbs) in the same amount of months. it took a few cruel to be kind comments for me to face reality. i then managed to shed the weight whilst still taking the a/depressants, by counting calories and exercise.
i dont know whether it was the tablets or whether it was cos i was feeling better that made me gain weight, possibly a bit of both.
slim
