> What else is going on that could be the cause?
Yeah, I was surprised to realize that I was gaining weight since it didn't say anything about that anywhere (I thought it was "neutral" with respect to weight gain). I have never gained weight from depression itself (never lost weight either) or from taking any other medication including Paxil. I lost weight on Effexor and Wellbutrin.
But I just don't know what else it could be. My eating habits haven't really changed, or anything else in my life. And it seemed so rapid, 6 or 7 pounds in 6 weeks.
I'm tempted to go off of it, but that seems ridiculous with it being the first drug to actually make me feel any different.
