Cripes Michael, I don't think there is any
simple answer to this one....

I gained weight on Parnate, the MAOI that
has the reputation[maybe because of more
of an amphetamine effect?]of being less
likely to cause weight gain.

Doesn't seem to be much medical info
[studies] of MAOI weight gain, and I doubt if
anyone can say just why it happens.

Carb cravings do seem to be something MAOI
users report a lot, so if there is some
metabolic alteration occurring along with
increased carb intake...WHOA!!!

I suppose of you started exercising[or
increased it if you were already accustomed to it]
and decreased your caloric intake from what you
had been ingesting before, maybe you wouldn't
gain weight.

And then there is the 'X' factor of other
drugs one might be taking concurrently...
then you've got a problem assigning blame
for the weight gain.

It's complex!
