Don't suggest that they stop their meds!

It may well be that their meds are in fact causing the weight gain. The weight gain is the lesser of evils.

Hi Folks,

Perhapes a little of topic, perhapes not, maybe a bit of the 'why people gain weight on certain meds' could be incorporated into the group discussion.. Anyway my question is:
Does anyone know the physiology behind weight gain attributed to certain psych. meds?

Thanks
Steve
