This is exactly what my mother-in-law says. "You're already depressed, so they put you on a medication that makes you gain weight, which makes you depressed."
The worst thing is a lot of these meds also increases risk for diabetes. Not sure if it is due to the meds themselves elevating blood glucose, or because you gain weight... or both! It makes me mad. Diabetes is a serious issue. I don't think it is right to give you one med to heal one problem only to give you a new one.... That's like your mechanic fixing your breaks and then poking holes in your gas line....
