It’s women who are affected most - they tend to articulate better and are more willing to open up to the shrinks - and consequently get experimented with drugs and dosages more.
One friend literally ballooned in weight by over 180lbs in a span of 2 years and her doc doesn’t seem to think it could be the meds. He puts her on wild assortments of antidepressants (lexapro), anti-psychotics, sleep aids and appetite suppressants. Worse still, she trusts him.
My wife’s sister is on a cocktail of the same. She has gained at least 50 pounds in the last year or two, and is swollen up and looks pretty hideous. Nothing like ruining the looks of a gal to get her self esteem up huh?
