> Is weight gain on SSRIs and/or TCAs solely a reult of incresed eating ?I find that even when I'm extremely careful about food intake ,I still gain or have trouble osing. It's usually only 5-8 lbs but is still frustrating and doesn't help the self-esteem issues which contribute to my depression.

I am too very frustrated with the weight gain associated with AD(SSRI's). I have gained significant weight over the past two years. I am currently taking wellbutrin and paxil to see if it will help. I am seeing a definite decrease in appetite, but I have been on the wellbutrin only for about two weeks, so I have not had time to evaluate. If I have a good response I will let you know. I am desperately trying to find out what ssri's cause the least weight gain, but it looks like all have some associated with it. I am waiting for a miracle. Chubby is still better than being depressed, but my normal weight would be nice.
