From what I've read, people who gain weight or have odd systemic side effects don't absorb the drug well through the blood brain barrier, so much of it stays in the rest of the body.
One company is working a drug that helps to lessen this problem. It's not really an AD by itself, although it may do some good, it's basically designed to make CNS drugs more effective. Actually it's a highly pure lipid, which is what cell membranes are partially composed of, and lipids go through cells easily, so this may help the drugs.
Sorry, tangent there...
