Q: are there anti-depressants or anti-anxiety meds that won't cause me to gain weight?

a few years ago my job was starting to take its toll on me and my well-being. i couldn't go a day without crying or being extrmely irritable. i couldn't sleep, my hair started falling out and i was as the point of throwing up blood. at the beginning of the year (2005), just a few months before our wedding I was put on two different types of medications. these meds seemed to work but in a matter of 30 days i'd gained 25 pounds and almost couldn't fit into my wedding gown. i couldn't understand why this happened b/c i was not eating any more than i was before i started the medication and i still exercised on a regular basis.
