WHY the weight gain w/ SSRI's???

Posted by Jefff on November 11, 2002, at 22:53:34

Is there an actual physiological or medical reason that actually CAUSES people to gain weight on SSRI's, or is it just that people get fat for other reasons and they just blame the drugs?
If it is indeed the SSRI's that cause the weight gain than does that mean that the higher the dose you take the more weight you will gain? For example, if you were on 20mg Paxil and then it was increased to 40mg would you then start gaining more weight?
very curious and thanks,
Jeff
