hey! Do you think your doc is understanding enough to medicate to prevent weight gain? When I went on a tricyclic antidepressant (Tofranil), my doc also upped my Adderall. Reason 1) was to provide more stimulation and "beef up" the tofranil; 2) was to counteract the very real possibility of considerable weight gain. I gained a little weight, but not that much. Anyway, I've read that some shrinks are starting to proactively medicate against weight-loss...the father of one of my friends, for instance, sometimes prescribes phentermine or tenuate with TCAs.
