I am curious to know what kind of antidepressant everyone is on and if it caused weight gain. I am to the point I feel that I need to get some meds but I do not need to gain any weight When I got sick I managed to lose weight an so far been able to keep it off, still classifed as overweight though. Thanks

I am on Cipramil and don't know whether it is that, the Rebif or MS but I have lost nearly 7kg this year without even trying too.

I am on Seroquel and to my knowledge, it has not caused any weight gain. I love this drug. It helps my moods like no other med ever has and it also serves as a sleep aid. It's great to have a medication that serves two purposes with only one dose.

Good luck on keeping the weight off. I can say from experience that being severely overweight definitely effects our MS. So, any little bit of weight you can lose and keep off, will help more than you know.

I am on zoloft and it works great! I have actually lost weight!

You might have to try a few before you find one that works well with your own body chemistry. Talking to a Psych nurse about your symptoms works well for some.

Wellbutrin here, and the pounds have rolled off. Cymbalta on the other hand, caused me to gain weight.

Mirtazapine and it sure didnt make me happy actually angry. I was taking it to gain weight...It worked, but I stopped taking them after 5 mo because I was tired of the xtra tiredness I didnt need.
If you are trying to loose dont take this stuff
