Reboxetine would likely cause weight loss before gain, I would think. I have not yet tried it, but it is strictly a norepinephrine uptake inhibitor, which will give you more energy, and likely speed the metabolism over time. It would likely counteract the traditional weight gain side effects of Zoloft and such SSRI's, if you would get that effect from them. It will also cause much sweating, I would think, because of the excess noradrenaline. If you sweat, you burn calories, and thus lose weight.
