I gotta agree with Augustina about the food journal -- it makes a big difference not only in how I eat, but also in how many doctors would respond to you walking in and saying that the meds are involved in your weight gain...
The APs are almost certainly involved in your weight gain, but the SSRI may be as well. If it's med related, the bad news is that no amount of dieting or exercise will make much difference. Talk to your doctor, though, about what can be done to keep you stable AND get some of that weight off. Dexadrine probably ain't on the table, but Topamax is supposed to help with it.
Sorry to offer bad news to you, but hope that helps.
