Hi,
I think it is probably a combination of all three, plus some other things. I really crave the sweet carbohydrates, especially chocolate (no it doesn't kill you, even in high quantities). I know that my metabolism is lowered, because I am very active all day and can still gain ten pounds in a couple of weeks. That's about 35,000 extra calories; hard to eat that much. I also have some edema in my lower extemities that I don't have when I'm off Nardil.

The other things are the atypical depression itself, which usually makes you gain weight. Not funny-a side effect of the medication to fight my disorder is a symptom of the disorder itself.

The augmentors I take, clonazepam and Seroquel, can also add to weight gain.
Be Well,
Jedi
