SSRIs/Antidepressants and Weight Loss? Help!

Hello everyone! I am currently on Cymbalta, Abilify, and Wellbutrin. To anyone who is familiar with these medications, how will these affect my weight loss goals? Thank you in advance.

    I too take SSRIs . Yes some do effect your weight loss goal. The wellbutron is a SARIs that does cause weight gain the other will make you hungry . It's really hard to say no to food when your head says EAT, EAT ,EAT .You just eat foods that are very low cal . The weight loss is a lot slower but it is possible just a like harder .
