Hello u are gaining wt as result of drugs ....for this u simply have to increase level of seotonin in brain...what happens when we take carbohydrate and it is digested an amino acid tryptophan is produced which increases the level of serotonin in brain and turn off the appetite but u are already gaining wt and carbohydrate intake can further increase ur wt.....so u can follow the following rules and drugs to avoid wt gain..
1 Eat banana daily it will naturally increase level of serotonin in brain it will increase ur energy and use this energy in ur physical activities which will help u to loose wt
2 do yoga exercises and deep breathing exercises early in morning this will naturally decrease ur dose of drugs and get u out from depression
3 if u are developing central obesity use garcinia cambodia extract hydrocitric acid can decrease central obesity
4 U can use guuggul extract of commiphora mukul ..but under supervision of some naturopath as it increases level of t4 t3 and cause catabolism decreasing fats of body ...some feel flushing during treatment
5 Feel happy and get urself involved in activities that u like
6 If u are feeling hungry more often use almonds pistacheo ....because they have more oils they curb feeling of hungerness as mentioned in ayurveda
Hope this may help u out
For further assistance u can contact me
