Weight Gain on Antidepressants: Any Alternatives?

I know this is an old post but will quickly chime in. Everyone is different ultimately. Personally have a huge reduction in appetite throughout the year I’ve taken it this far, and hence some weight loss. Was hugely reducing meals at first but is a bit more settled Antidepressants in themselves don’t cause physiological or metabolic changes to induce this, it’s about amount of food consumed vs activity levels, which can be impacted by these meds. Anyway, original point was.. quite a few folks notice weight gain, been the opposite for me. No point in relying on anecdotes, everyone’s different. What you can do is talk to your doctor about SSRIs LESS likely (statistically) to result in weight gain based on research and their experience, or you can find this out for yourself and request a switch 👍 best of luck folks
