I don't feel mine were which may have also been the deciding edge that pushed me off of meds.
Have you considered adding fish oil? There is some thought it aids in weight loss.
I admit I haven't seen solid studies but it seems like it wouldn't hurt to try.
Also, have you tried CBT? I have used it during my tapering.
I am not saying it would get you off of med but maybe lower them so some weight could come off.What about St. Johns Wort? When I switched to it from Prozac, I lost 30 pounds without even trying. The quality of the brand is important.
Anyway, I hope you find a solution.
