>As you know, weight gain from antidepressants is a big stinking deal for me, and frankly -- I just feel even more like a pathetic loser who may as well just give up on it all when I hear someone say that it's my own fault that I've gained weight, by eating too much, or by not exercising enough, or whatever. Thank you for the reminder that it's not necessarily bad habits leading to weight gain.
Thank you.
