My ADHD meds have weight loss as one of their usual side effects, but by pairing them with an appetite stimulant, they’ve actually helped me gain by allowing me to focus on eating when I sit down for a meal and not get distracted doing other things. I used to always get distracted after only eating a few bites even if I was hungry, and then by the time I remembered I had food an hour or two later, it was cold and gross and inedible. Now, I can eat my whole meal, or at least most of it.
I haven’t used anti-depressants myself because I do not have depression, but I’ve never seen a discussion about them in which at least one person didn’t chime in to complain about having become fat because of the medicine.
