Ugh! Exactly this. I'm pretty sure I know exactly what medication she's talking about too, because I'm on it- Remeron.  The only difference is I listened to when my psychiatrist warned me about carb cravings and made sure to limit them. I kept track of my weight when starting any new medication- and I didn't gain any weight because of motherfucking self control. These fatasses will use any excuse they can get. At my treatment center almost everyone was on some sort of antidepressant and guess what? Only two of the >70 people there were fatties. And at least those two were actively losing weight rather than blaming their medications and continuing to stuff their faces! Ugh. /end rant.
