AD's are not "synthetic seretonin" AD's effect the natural seretonin already in your body.
Yes phen/fen can make you depressed or make existing depression worse. Take a look at Dr. Bob tips and tricks section http://www.dr-bob.org/tips/ check the box that says Phentermine and fenfluramine. People should not mix AD's and weight loss meds I think. There are reports of serotonin syndrome in people using AD + some weight loss meds.
In me Effexor makes me anything but hungry. Some report Wellby does this too. Another thought is Prozac at a higher than normal dose. Redux is a closely related to Prozac and higher doses of Prozac can cause weight loss. Kills 2 birds with 1 pill.
