“I thought antidepressants made you gain weight.”

Dexedrine, which is used by some people to lose weight, is sometimes used to “boost” the effects of anti-depressants. But I don’t know whether it has cocaine-like properties.

Yes, weight gain is a common side effect of antidepressants. They would have switched his medication if weight loss was a problem.

There was a rumor about stomach parasites from the Hawaiian
vacation. Don’t know in that’s silly or possible.

My guess is stress and not being used to actually working long days.

Many do but then again, after having been on them for 10 years I have never been prescribed a ‘cocaine-like stimulant’ either. I’ve never heard of that for treatment of even extremely bad depression.
