I have been diagnosed with depression and anxiety and panic attacks. I need to talk to a doctor about getting on a medication that will help both but i have done research and am scared of getting on something that will cause weight gain. I am already over weight 50 lbs

there are lots of medications available which are suitable for your problem. antidepressants (SSRIs,SNRIs) generally dont cause any weight gain. i would suggest you to visit a psychiatrist discuss your problem and also tell him/her about your concern. i am sure you will be benefited with it.
