    Antidepressant medications definitely might reduce the mounting depression and stress in one’s lifestyle. But are you aware of the side effects they can cause? Anti- depressants can mess up with the weight and make one obese. It is a personal experience. One of my friends suffered from brain epilepsy conditions and was prescribed some medications which she continued for around a year. By the end of the phase, she had gained as much weight as she originally had, i.e. doubled her weight. She was determined enough to lose weight with exercise and diet, and all such other drives, in just the time of 6 – 8 months and now she looks as attractive, with the slimmed figure, as before.
