Weight gain on sertraline/citalopram

[Mich1986]

I need to go back on anti depressants, haven’t been on them since 2020. I’ve lost weight over the last year and really don’t want to regain. I know it sounds vain and my mental health is more important, but I also have an unhealthy relationship with food and body dysmorphia. Did anyone have experience of weight gain with either of these drugs?

I’m not an expert but my understanding is that sertraline and citalopram are pretty weight neutral. Fluoxetine is used for BED so can reduce appetite. I’m on duloxetine which has taken my appetite away but I still binge so I haven’t lost any weight yet. I might now that my mood is improving though.
