Yea I’ve gained almost 90lbs....I’m wondering if anxiety meds do it as well? I’m now trying to get back to running and attempting to avoid my cravings for food, especially sugary food at night.

Yea but weight gain causes more depression, there has to be a way to get rid of it and balance out the side effects of the meds. I also found out my thyroid is all messed up which could cause weight gain too.
