> I absolutely notice this. It's dose related. I have always thought it to be a distension from gas and a muscle spasm like a flexing bicep from too much serotonin in the guts. A swelling of "the guts" rather than actual weight gain. It often is accompanied my a general uncomfortable feeling there as well for me..

************************************************

I read that about 95% of the body's serotonin receptors are in the gut, so that would explain this problem with SSRI's, but I've experienced it with other, non-serotonergic antidepressants and with Concerta, which is a psychostimulant. I've never been able to figure that one out.
