Not true in my case. On both Prozac and Zoloft, I lost weight intitially (especially the very first time I went on each) but then I gained it back and then some from carb cravings, especially for sugar. I also felt like food just stayed in my stomach forever, and that my whole digestive system and metabolism in general were slowed to a lethargic crawl.
I've posted elsewhere that magnesium glycinate supplementation has cured my depression but what was more surprising to me with a many-year major weight problem, was that it also lowered my appetite to normal and enabled me to quit my usual addictions (sugar, high fat, caffeine, wheat, processed foods in general) quickly and painlessly. I've lost 30+ lbs so far and it was never easier.
