I managed to lose 3 stone while on Citalopram (doing WeightWatchers) - so, no, not true for me.

i was on citalopram and now venlafaxine. I'm finding it impossible to lose the weight i gained. Despite being really careful i put on a stone in a month. Dr has now given me xenical - it stops you absorbing fat but makes your pooh disgusting sorry if tmi!!! Has anyone else tried these?
