Today, I found out that of the three medications I am taking for depression, one causes weight gain, one causes severe weight gain, and one "might cause weight gain." FML

Hmm, you have the choice of being depressed, or the choice of being fat and happy. Which will you pick? BUM BUM BUMMM!

Those are just side effects that have a possibility of happening, sweetie. Not everyone will experience them. Your body may react differently.

okay well you should keep taking medications because the doctor prescribed to you for a reason almost all anti depressants cause weight gain all you have to do is work out and eat better but if you get off your anti depressants you will feel worse than when you first got on them

They don;t cause weight gain in themselves, they increase your appetite. OP just remember if you eat healthy and get enough exercise you have nothing to worry about. Alot of people even lose weight because their energy comes back up when their mood does. Plus some people lose their appetite when depressed and lose weight and the medications just bring them back to normal, hence weight gain. I lost weight on them but I did stop eating as much and got more exercise, it's up to you :)

If that so happens to be the case, just work out. Exercise is also a great stress reliever, so in my opinion, it's a win/win ! c:

Well if I was you I would either A: workout and be active to counter it or B: ask the doc about different medications.

On the meds, you'll get so fat, it will be depressing and you'll have to keep taking the meds to treat your depression. Big Pharma has got it all worked out -- "treating" diseases is a much better business model than curing them.

#30, I thumbed you up. Yours is similar to mine, except mine has a crazy conspiracy theory. Or so the Swiss would have you believe ;)

Not to worry about the weight gain, either. Big pharma has a pill for that, too.
