There is no way that amount of weight gain was caused by an sri. Maybe you were on something else like an atypical/tricyclic antidepressant? Or maybe you were just depressed?
Unfortunately it’s pretty hard to tease these things apart because depression itself causes weight gain and there are medication adherence issues especially with longer term studies, but the most well-controlled data suggests that sris don’t play much of a role in weight gain for most people
I mean what does “cause weight gain” even mean because mine didn’t cause weight gain, at least one of mine caused me to feel a black hole in my stomach. I was perpetually hungry, a hunger that I couldn’t satisfy. It also increased suicidal ideation and action and also did not help my depression. Hope this helps!
Tbf the weight gain attributable to sris is tiny, like 0.5 kg over 6 months at most
I don’t heve experience but would think that’s different from individual to individual
It’s true that differences between how individuals react to sris is pretty large and that <0.5kg number is a population wide average
That may be true for SSRIs, but I have bipolar, and I’m on an antipsychotic that also has antidepressant properties. It made me gain hella weight.
“Keep your mind light and your booty heavy. Ask your doctor for our antidepressant today!”
Bye bye bad moody, hello phat booty! Thanks, medicine name!
Yeah other meds are different. I assumed OOP was referring to sris because of the cum thing
A totally fair assumption.
I gained like 70lbs then lost it all after getting off of them. Losing that much weight while depressed was a bitch and a half.

Idk, after I went on antidepressants only a couple of years later I put on loads of weight

Ya, I was being silly, my weight gain has other sensible explanations
