Does weight neutral drugs mean it does not slow down your metabolism or does it mean it does not make you hungry... or both

I believe what Halliebeth said is correct. Personally I took Tompamax and it caused no extra weight.

Either or, or both. It just has no significant effect on your weight, as if you weren't taking a medication. That might not mean that you won't gain weight, but we all have to realize that we might have gained weight even without medications in some cases.

Certain psych meds are notorious for weight gain and some are considered weight neutral..

One thing I will say is depending where your at mood wise can cause weight gain or loss.... When I am depressed I have no interest in food.... Hypo I think all food tastes so fantastic I want everything.
