Weight gain and munchies are usually related to antihistamines and drugs that block 5-ht2c. Dry mouth and constipation are caused by anticholinergics. Newer antidepressants were designed specifically to eliminate those side effects. Some people claim to gain weight on SSRIs, but I have not heard that about WB.
