Can i loose weight on medication?!


Question:

Can i loose weight on medication?

I feel that the question that i asked before did not have enough detail as i am desperate for a solution,i am on an antidepresent called mitazapene,I have put on 3 stone since being onthis medication and need to know if weight can be lost whilst on it,i have tried to loose weight but not put that much effort in to it as people have said to me that you can not loose weight whilst on medication yet others have said that you can ,if someone tells me for definate that if i excersise more than what i do,and eat better than what i do then i will put my everything into it to do so.
i eat well and do not put much in the way of sugars and fats into my body and between having a 2 year old daughter and plenty of walking i am not idle i do try to keep active,so if anyone out there has any knowlege of this medication or experiances i would love to hear of any succes stories..thanks in advance...

The weight gain is a side effect of the medication and this is the only one of 4 that works for me so i can not really change.
