Anyone who is on an anti depressant post op please help!

Hi I am 6 1/2 months out and have lost 104 lbs. While I am ok with that I seemed to have hit a wall. About a month ago I started getting depressed. I think I started to really mourn my good old buddy food. My doctor put me on an anti depressant and told me to give it about a month. Well shortly thereafter the weight loss just STOPPED and I started getting very hungry and having massive food cravings. My doc then switched me to another anti depressant with the same results only 10x worse. She told me to stay on this one and 'ride it out' to see if it lessens. It seems to me the drug I am taking to help me get over food is leading me back to food. Not only that I am afraid I will fall into all my old traps due to the hunger and the cravings. Has anyone else been on anti depressants post op? How has it gone? Will they make me regain the weight? My anxiety level is off the charts about this one.
