Hi there

The best person to ask about this is your doctor.  It is always a hard decision to change medications but it is true that many medications can cause weight gain.

I wrote a two part series about antidepressants and weight which you may wish to read.

Part One:  Will my Antidepressants Make me Gain Weight?

Part Two:  Which Antidepressants are Least Likely to Make me Gain Weight?

Off the top of my head I remember the literature saying that Wellbutrin was one antidepressant which had a low incidence of weight gain as a side effect.  However...you should know that there are people who talk about weight gain as a side effect to all the medications.  Everyone will react differently.

Discuss this with your doctor and see what he or she suggests.  Let us know what happens!
