Thanks for the good info, Shawn and Panda. I guess I'll need to play around with it a bit. I think I've exhausted the other drugs that have weight gain as a side effect, having tried some with no effect and ruling out others..
For example, my doctor suggested I could try Zyprexa, only because she knows it causes weight gain.. I looked up the mechanism and it seems to cause weight gain by inducing insulin resistance not by increasing appetite. So my guess is that it causes you to store fat more easily although you're not actually stimulated to eat more. So that's not exactly what I need.
The SSRI's I tried all made me nauseous, so I don't think I'm a candidate for trying any others of that class. If anyone has any other ideas of ways to use any AD drugs (or anything else) for appetite stimulation, please let me know.
Thanks again.
K.
