Really interested in this. Have been reading a few threads recently on ADs and weight gain.
I'm the type of person where if there's going to be weight gain as a side effect, I'll experience it! BUT I started on citalopram about 6 months ago. Initially it made me lose my appetite and I lost half a stone. 6 months on I'm a further stone lighter through sensible and sustainable diet and exercise.
I'm just wondering if the ADs cause an increase in appetite which make weight loss harder/weight gain more likely or is it something in the drugs which change how food is metabolised or whatever to make weight gain more likely.
Would be very interested in peoples thoughts on this. I do suffer alot from hunger but I'm not sure if this is the ADs or just me I'm a pig
