Sorry, no I gained lots of weight but if they help I would take them. x
@Rubes61 Thank you for sharing. yes, unfortunately it seems that antidepressants can cause weight gain but it can be worth it if you feel better.
I have tried to come off Lexapro because of weight gain and I am careful of what I eat. It is a bit of a downer to put on weight and I feel depressed about my fat face and being overweight does not suit me. I also have hypothyroid which makes me hold weight....
I put on masses of weight. Olanzapine is well known for it even though it helped I had to come off it at 22 stone
@Mimismum48 Thank you all for sharing your experiences :)
We also have a factsheet about the medication here where you can add your opinion so other patients can read what you have to say.
