    I was on antidepressants and all it did was add 35kg to me...
    Hense why im a rolly polly now :(

    No that would have been eating more, not from being on them. The medication itself does not ad calories to your body :flowerforyou:

    Seems unlikely to be the antidepressants that are causing weight gain - more likely to be the depression. Anti-depressants don't tend to kick in until 3 weeks after you start taking them.

    Analyze this after 21 days in your system...

    Analyze this after 21 days in your system...there are things that go along with antidepressants.. like close monitoring by a psychaitrist and talking with a psychologist... the pills alone in 5 days will not cause a weight gain. At least not that I've seen in teh psych world in the past 24 years.
