I've been taking Prozac and Ativan since the 19th and I have luckily not gained anything. But when I met with my doctor, I told her I was trying to lose weight so she told me she'd put me on things that don't have a lot of weight gain associated with them... Since March 12th, I've lost 13.8 pounds so I am so happy that my medication isn't hindering me from my weight loss goals.. Sorry that you might me gaining.. Maybe it just depends on the person?

I gained 20 lbs on Paxil. I have taken it twice in my life, each time for a couple of years, and I gained those 20lbs each time. Some of it
came off once I stopped taking it. The weight came in quickly...within the first two months, and then slowed down.

On Effexor I didn't notice any huge weight gains...maybe less than 5 lbs.

Currently on Celexa and no weight gain at all. I've been on it for 3 months and I have actually managed to drop some weight and lean out. One thing I should mention is that I currently work out 5 days a week and have a clean diet. When I took Paxil and Effexor I was not exercising and just ate normally.
