Do antidepressants slow weight loss?

[shagirl]

Was lucky enough to shed baby weight after dd's 1 & 2 but now dd 3 is 15 mths am only 3 lbs lighter than when I gave birth to her! Only difference am on AD's - could this be making things harder for me to lose the weight? Am getting v.fed up with it all!

think it depends which ones you are on. I take Prozac and for the first couple of weeks I lost weight - brill!! but then it's just steadied out. I find it v hard to lose weight no matter how hard I try and often wonder if it's the AD's. Good chance it might be I suppose cos they slow everything down, making you calmer etc so suppose they could slow your metabolism down too.
