Most people that i know seem to have gained weight on certain antidepressants, even when they’ve been eating the same and hitting the gym and claim to not be able to get rid of this weight no matter what they do.
What causes this? How do antidepressants change your metabolism?
In: Biology
Had a psychiatrist tell me that most studies of medications were done in psychiatric hospitals. If patients were depressed enough to be hospitalized, they hadn’t been eating for some time. Suddenly the drug makes them feel better, and food at psychiatric hospitals is all you can eat buffet style. So weight gain gets reported as a side effect.
