What meds are you on? I take Lamictin and Wellbutrin, and find I've lost weight. There are some meds that actually cause a slight weight loss.
But yes, most psych meds cause weight gain. You just need to try work around them, and where possible get your pdoc to find weight-neutral meds that also help you.
