Hi,
Many a time antidepressant medicines do give increase in weight gain.
Even depression can cause weight gain.
But there is no alternative for that and you have to continue with the medicines.
Take low fat or carb or no fat and carb at all.
Go for regular physical exercise daily for 35-45 minutes for 5 days in a week.
Avoid sedentary life.
Avoid stress.
Ok and take care.
