> I haven't checked out the relative binding potentials between Meridia™ (sibutramine) and Effexor, but this really baffles me. People still gain weight on Effexor (although not as much as with the SSRIs, esp. Paxil™ - paroxetine). What are they not telling us?
That sibutramine is Just Another Antidepressant. In early preclinical studies, it's often referred to as an antidepressant.
I'd be interested in those binding potentials, if you do happen to look them up.

P.S. I agree that Paxil seems to be a worse offender than the other SSRIs with regard to weight gain. Wonder why that would be.
