Talk with your dr: Bunny, rapid wt gain with psychiatric medications warrants attention by your dr. This type of wt gain can cause other metabolic problems that can be eliminated by diet, exercise and a med change. There are many alternative medications out there for treating panic and depression. Please visit with your dr. About them.
