Antidepressants and Weight Gain: A Frustrating Dilemma

Anybody else mad that like all antidepressants make you gain weight? Doctors try to say all my problems would be magically fixed if I just lost weight but that’s really not easy when the medication that keeps you alive is keeping weight on.

I will say some antidepressants are worse than others when it comes to making you hungry. The one I switched to this year I think has reduced how much I want to eat. But yes it sucks! I have gained a bunch of weight since I started taking them.
