I must first ask are you taking medication(s) for treating the depression? If so the aren't you asking for trouble by requesting a medication that acts on the same neuro-receptors as your current medication? weight gain is a typical side effect of some depression medications. The best way to battle that gain is to increase your activity level. If diet and/ or exercise is not the answer then you need to see a weight loss specialist. If you are obese there are surgical options. I know you want someone to say it's ok to take it while on medication for depression, but it is not. Talk with your doctor to set a course of action. Do not think it will be quick nor easy just possible. Good luck

UMM ok, so the only advice I can give you is "DO NOT TAKE THOSE TWO DRUGS TOGETHER" it says so very clearly. Do not even begin to take those
drugs due to a strong reaction. Then you dont have to reconcile the
situation.
