>>As of yet, however, I haven't found much in the way of "hard evidence"
Well, the hard evidence came from the clinical trials. It's part of the list of possible side effects. There are perfectly sound explanations for it. With antidepressants, the change in brain chemistry often affects appetite and probably glucose management and digestion. With BC hormones, it can cause a whole whack of side effects that lead to weight gain: increase in appetite, decreased glucose tolerance, hypoglycemia, increased fat storage... probably others.
Check the General Health forum for more info. You can search for older threads, too. There's almost always a current discussion of antidepressants and/or hormones and weight loss.
