B. People who are trying to lose weight should not ask their doctors for an antidepressant drug.-->strong wording.NO
C. At least some patients taking antidepressant drugs gain weight as a result of taking them. OK
D. The weight gain experienced by patients taking antidepressant drugs should be attributed to lack of dieting. -->Not always. It is stated that despite dieting, one can gain weight inevitably.
