anyone take antidepressant's?

Hello everyone! I've been on Zoloft and Xanax for almost two years now to combat lifelong depression and generalized anxiety. I definitely noticed a gradual but significant weight gain (I don't own a scale, but went up several sizes in clothing). I'm not as interested in losing pounds as I am in getting in shape and feeling more comfortable with my body, and I am reluctant to change my medications/dosage because they have worked out really well with my mood and anxiety problems, as it can take a lot of trial and error to get the combination right. If I had to make a choice, I'd rather be a chubby happy functional person than a skinnier person with excessive emotional issues. I've only been making lifestyle changes to shape up for the last few months, so it's hard to tell if I've made any progress (I still refuse to buy a scale, I don't want to become obsessed with numbers).

I was on Prozac 100 mg and kept gaining weight no matter what I ate..stopped it and lost..on Welbutrin but had to start taking celexa as depression is getting bad so yes the effect it. but dont just stop taking your meds talk with your doctor.
