In the last couple of months I have been put on some different psychiatric drugs and am stuck. I have been stuck within the last 2 or 3 pounds for at least a month.

Is there anyone else out there on antidepressants (and/or other drugs) and are you experiencing an effect on your weight or weight loss?

As anyone who struggles with depression and weight troubles, it is a cycle. You gain or don’t loose and you get more depressed. I am seeing a therapist and my doctor in regards to this. However, I am wondering if there is s something I am missing and wonder what I am doing wrong.

The only antidepressant that doesn't cause weight gain is Wellbutrin. Psychotropic drugs like Seraquil, Zyprexa, Depakote, and Lithium almost always cause weight gain. Ability, although a good drug, raises blood sugar. I've realized that less is more and just stuck to taking one antidepressant. I usually seasonal depression and take Seraquil during Nov-March. I've decided not to do it this year and try more natural approaches. Good luck!

I meant Abilify, not ability.
