In reply to antidepressants Treat ANXIETY Without Weight Gain?, posted by starlight on June 4, 2004, at 20:06:59
It seems not everyone is prone to weight gain on the "big ten" (the current SSRI's and SNRI's the pharm companies and docs have been pushing in the last few years) anti-depressants.
Unfortunately, probably like you, I've gained weight on most of them. All SSRI's have caused weight gain/retention for me. As well as the SNRI's like Efexxor and Serzone. I don't think anyone knows for sure the exact function that causes the related weighgain but it's REAL -despite what ignorant doctors might say. Nardil made it easy to pack on the fat too!
Guess I'm just trying to help through process of elimination. Good luck!
