Reevaluate Rx Plan : If treatment is not helping symptoms , it needs to be reevaluated. The drug listed above is not in listing of antidepressants. Weight loss can be related to some antidepressants but there are other problems that can contribute to weight gain. It may be time to reevaluate your treatment plan or for you to better understand it.
