This is just a thought.. but have you read the book "Potatoes Not Prozac"?
Before anyone shoots me for recommending this book on this site, I have to say.. I DO NOT recommend you discontinue your meds,
But this book does have useful information about how eating certain foods can help with mood and help with the weight gain of ADs.
I found the guidelines to be very helpful in helping to eliminate cravings.
If you don't have time to get to the book store, check out Amazon.com for helpful book reviews.
Good luck.
