Lately I feel like I have put on a lot of weight and I think it is due to the anti depressants I am on. I am on Remoron, Wellbutrin, Seroquel, Haoudol, abilify, and pristiq. I feel heavy and balloon like. I have had issue with an eating disorder in the past but I cant get away with it where I am living now. I dont know what to do and I really hate this feeling.

I have taken Pristiq in the past. I lost weigh though, it was very short term.

I dont think that its the anti depressant its self more than likely one of the other meds that is causing the weight gain.
When you get the prescricption there should be an info sheet with or for each medication or you can go on line and look each one up for the side effects.

When you become less depressed, your appetite tends to increase, leading to weight gain. So maybe exercise more.
