Plenty of meds, especially anti-psychotics, strait up mess with your blood sugar level. The spikes in blood sugar will trigger fat storage and decrease insulin sensitivity. I've read before that Serotonin is also involved in alerting the brain at certain receptors to begin storing fat, which is why SSRIs will have the side effect of weight gain. So yes, it can strait up screw your metabolism without you changing your habits.
