[QUOTE="Zastro, post: 1546804, member: 372003"] Anti-depressants are notorius for causing weight gain, one of the most common one that's normally blamed is Celexa aka Citalopram. There are Anti-depressants that are weight neutral, see the list below [LIST] [*][URL='http://www.healthline.com/drugs/escitalopram/oral-tablet']escitalopram[/URL] (Lexapro, Cipralex), an SSRI [*]duloxetine ([URL='http://www.healthline.com/drugs/duloxetine/oral-capsule?brand=cymbalta']Cymbalta[/URL]), another SSRI [*]buproprion ([URL='http://www.healthline.com/drugs/bupropion/oral-tablet?brand=wellbutrin']Wellbutrin[/URL], Forfivo, and Aplenzin), an atypical antidepressant [*][URL='http://www.healthline.com/drugs/nefazodone/oral-tablet']nefazodone[/URL] (Serzone), a serotonin antagonist and reuptake inhibitor [*][URL='http://www.healthline.com/drugs/venlafaxine/oral-tablet']venlafaxine[/URL] (Effexor) and venlafaxine ER (Effexor XR), which are both serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) [*]desvenlafaxine ([URL='http://www.healthline.com/drugs/desvenlafaxine/oral-tablet?brand=pristiq']Pristiq[/URL]), an SNRI [*][URL='http://www.healthline.com/drugs/levomilnacipran/oral-capsule']levomilnacipran[/URL] (Fetzima), another SNRI [*][URL='http://www.healthline.com/drugs/vilazodone/oral-tablet']vilazodone[/URL] (Viibryd), a serotonergic antidepressant [*][URL='http://www.healthline.com/drugs/vortioxetine/oral-tablet']vortioxetine[/URL] (Trintellix), an atypical antidepressant [*][URL='http://www.healthline.com/drugs/selegiline/transdermal-patch']selegiline[/URL] (Emsam), a newer MAOI that you apply to your skin, which may lead to fewer side effects than MAOIs taken by mouth [/LIST] I've had personal experience with Duloxetine and I can confirm that it's certainly not caused any weight gain for me.
