Eli5: Why do certain antidepressants cause weight gain?

107 viewsBiologyOther

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?

While I’m not an expert on any of this I believe it’s not weight that they are putting on but rather the body is swelling up. That’s why exercising isn’t working. But I could be completely wrong about this.
