I personally haven't found my medications to affect my weight loss (Lamotragine and Sertraline) but I did find the medication you're currently taking to contribute to my weight gain, it wasn't a great one for me, but you may find it doesn't effect you as all medication interacts differently with people, if you find it not to be a great one for you, it's a tetracyclic anti-depressant so you did not agree with this one, ask to try another one.

Is there more than one reason you were put onto this drug? I was given this one to help me sleep as well as treating depression, but it wasn't great for me. Normally, the first port of call is an SSRI type.
