The reason Prozac would have caused weight gain is because it increases 5-HT2c and I think it has anti-histamine properties. There are antidepressants that do not target 5-HT2c. The problem is I dont think theres exact evidence. You could look at the drug monographs for all the SSRI's and see which ones cause weight gain. Nefazadone wont because it blocks 5-HT2c so thats an option.
