It sounds as though you're less looking for a weight loss medication, as you are looking for a medication to mitigate the weight gain from other medications.
That isn't just semantics, as it sounds as though you've found.
Based on what you're currently taking, you're most likely going to need to talk to your doctor about prescription medications. The two which are most discussed are metformin and Topomax. Both have some rather significant side effects, so you'll have to discuss with your doctor whether one or the other is appropriate in your situation.
Before you get to that point, you might want to try Pepcid or Axid. Both are helpful for some people in countering the obesogenic effects of many medications. Since they're OTC, and fairly cheap, you can try them out before talking to your doctor. If it's going to help, it will help right away.
Good luck.
