I really don't agree with this at all. I was put on antidepressants late in my teenage years for unexplained fatigue which was misdiagnosed as depression. I was first put on an SSRI - Lexapro. I went from 140 pounds to 180 in a month or two, and I certainly wasn't ravenously eating.
I went off an on it a few times, and I can see how other people would have a really hard time getting off of it. I was also put on Wellbutrin, and that had no effect on my weight (if not slight weight loss), it was better as far as sexual side effects go, and it was easier to come off of.
I now have a prescription for Adderall - again, for the fatigue - and I can see how some people could be addicted to it. Personally, I think it's a shame we can't just sell it over the counter. It's amazing for if you need to drive late at night, and it's the best damned cold medicine there is. If we could make an Adderall type stimulant where your brain downregulating receptors wasn't a factor a lot of people would lead significantly happier lives.
