>I don't know what causes SSRI weight gain except for the apathy that they can induce. Generally, most meds either cause weight gain, with only the stimulating ones being capable of being weight neutral or weight reducing.
For appetite increase, the H1 blocking drugs have a high chance of causing this as well as the 5-HT2C blockers.
