MAOI's + Weight Gain

Posted by jealibeanz on August 26, 2006, at 22:29:16

Why do most sources state that MAOI's cause weight gain? Is this because most of the MAOI's, until now, prescribed in the US were MAOI-A's? Those are more likely to cause weight gain than MAOI-B's, right?

Seriously, there is wayyy too much conflicting, hidden, and misinformation. Oh yeah, by the way, every (even copywrite 2006) text you'll ever see mentioning an SSRI says no weight gain, I've got about 5 right here that claim this to be true. I could understand reporting that in 1990, but come on, in 2006, we all know better.

It's not always because the patient become happier and decides to eat. (Who decides to over-eat continiuously to the point of becoming overweight or obese?) Sometimes, it's just the drug!

Well, anyway, my real question is, do MAOI-A's cause weight gain, while MAOI-B's do not? Are there any MAOI-B's available in the US, beside EMSAM at a lose dose?
