I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Psychotropic medications used for depression could cause weight gain for many people. But only medicines cannot be blamed. It is their life style that causes more weight gain. Lack of exercise, being lazy because of the medications as well as mood swings and the prime causes. Change your life style, and that is the cure.
Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition.
Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.
