What antidepressants cause weight loss/gain?!
Question: I've taken an antidepressant that supposedly causes weight gain but caused me to lose weight, mostly because I lose my appetite when taking it (effexor xr). Also, most meds contain only seratonin and effexor contains seratonin and dopamine, which helped me be more active. Does anyone know any other medications that cause weight loss/gain?

welbutrin causes weight loss. lexapro, prozac, celexa, zoloft. almost all anti-depressants but weight loss/weight gain is also associated with depression. I am taking effexor 225 mg and i lost a lot of weight when I first started taking it but then I eventually started gaining weight. I don't know if its the effexor but I have a feeling it is.
Celexa made me lose alot of weight. Made my heart race, i ate very little.
Zoloft made me lose weight.
Effexor didn't do that for me. I wish it did!!
I expected Concerta to do that. Again, I wish!!
My son took Zyprexa for a while. My 8 yo gained 20 lbs. He was chubby for the first time in his slim as a stick life.
He also takes Adderall. He doesn't eat until it wears off and then he eats anything that doesn't run fast enough.
