Weight loss after citalopram?

[Mazzatron]

I'm interested in people's experience of losing gained weight after stopping citalopram/ other SSRIs.

I have slowly gained 12lb since taking citalopram for 7 months and I am starting to wean off now.

Did people lose the weight gradually since stopping?

Anyone not lose it?

Did you have to put lots of effort in or did it gradually come off as the drug left your system? What did you do to lose the weight?

Anyone not lose it?

Thanks!

Just to add I've been taking it for post natal issues and now is the right time for me to stop.

I was on it for a while and when I finally came off I noticed my weight had changed.
I’ve never really connected the two before but about a month or 2 after I came off of it I had lost half a stone. My diet had changed slightly but not enough to cause it and I had not changed my lifestyle or exercise routine so it really could be just coming off the tablets.

A few months after coming off the tablets i started at the gym as j felt uncomfortable with my body shape/tone/look. Attending a couple of gym classes a week really boosted my mental health and I actively felt I was going to help release some of my stress.
