> On the other hand, I gained over 50 pounds on Paxil, and nothing changed in my eating habits until I'd put on 35 of those pounds. I'd say that points to the drug as a likely cause.
As I said, I believe it happens sometimes, but not as often as people might think judging from the "I gained weight" stories. Also, this study used Prozac. I'd like to see a study comparing Prozac to Paxil...I seem to hear a lot more complaints about Paxil than other SSRIs.
Recovery from depression causes weight gain. Hell, the passage of time causes weight gain: people tend to get heavier, at least until age 55 or so.
