Weight increase?: Unfortunately the majority of medications we take for mood symptoms can cause weight increase , we take them because we need them .However, I have seen some people gaining more than 30 lb while others on the same medication has gained only 5 lb. It depend on what we eat , how much we eat and how much we exersize.
