Hi Qunital
"It seems to me that rimonabant might be producing behavioral patterns that I associate with naturally thin persons, i.e. worry, nervousness, melancholia, introversion, hypersensitivity, agitation etc. Contrast this with the stereotype of the 'jolly fat person' and you can see where there might be a link. Not only in behavioral patterns, but energy metabolism, body shape etc. They seem to be linked, maybe because they are indeed linked in some way via the endocannabionoid system."
That is a good point and ceraintly rings a bell with me, pre-SSRI's and thin and post-SSRI's and not so thin (and a few years of taking Mellaril on and off), it is just a shame in the UK no Doctor I have ever come across is willing to see that good mental health and being overweight are not mutally inclusive.
