This is bull. I didn't consume more calories, but tended to diet on AAP's, since I felt well enough to cotrol my food intake (not that I gained when I was depressed. I tended not to eat and usually lost weight). Also i upped my exercise considerably, from laying in bed all day, to swimming a mile and walking 3-4 miles daily. I still gained 2-3 pounds per week. Most AAPs (risperadone, abilify, zyprexa, seroquel) worked like magic for me as anti-depressants, but caused out-of-control weight gain. My various trials of AAPs made me gain 50 pounds in a year. When I stopped them, I dieted and exercised once my depression was under control with parnate and lost 45 pounds.
