Is there an antidepressant with no weight gain?

Posted by sienna on October 10, 2002, at 17:56:59

Hi everybuddy,

I think i have to go on an antidepressant. I saw a new doctor yesterday because my doctor wanted a second opinion and he said he would talk to my doctor about adding an antidepressant, but I cant gain weight. Im lucky that Geodon is working for me some but it doesnt make me gain weight in fact i lost the 20 pounds i gained on Zyprexa in 2 weeks.

Im a gymnast so i cant afford to gain weight because of my sport. Im afraid of what they will put me on.

Thanks everybuddy,
Sienna

It's listed as "most anorexic" in SSRI charts. When I took it, it killed my appetite so completely I had to force myself to eat. I also have reduced appetite on Celexa, but I've heard some people gain weight on it.

if you are unhappy with the zoloft and you don't need an ssri you might want to try wellbutrin. i lost weight on it plus there are no sexual side effects.
good luck

ps i didn't notice any weight change while i was on prozac, the problem with it is it take about 6 weeks to kick in and six-eight weeks to get out of your system when you go off-in other words its a looooong mess up(you can ask my partner who was sex deprived the entire time) if you are unhappy with it.
