Well it is I ' the other' Jane. Wow I guess my comments were a little harsh, I must be getting better !! Sorry if i offended anyone. I am only repeating what the doctor told me and i will go educate myself St. James !
Regards a humble Jane.
It was not James but (the other) Jane who expressed skepticism about ssri's and weight gain. In fact, though, weight gain is a demonstrable empirical outcome for many medications, not just ad's. I suspect it has something to do with lowering T3 levels and/or creating insulin resistance. The insulin resistance would definitely stimulate the carb cravings that so many complain of. Whatever, it's a pain, and hard enough to handle without being told to shut up and deal with it.
