    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...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.
