Brief Answer:
Endep most likley culprit!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for contacting us.

I have reviewed your medications. Loette and Endep are able to cause rapid weight gain. I suggest that you review when you started taking these drugs and the weight gain s as to tell which is more likely to have caused this. For instance, if weight gain started a few months after starting a new drug while others had been going on for years, then the new drug is most likely to be indexed as the probable cause.

I hope to hear back from you. If the weight gain is worrisome to you, check with your doctor so that the medications can be replaced, probably.

I wish you well.
