> Has anyone heard of EMSAM causing weight gain like other antidepressants? I gained a lot of inexplicable weight on Paxil, Buspar, Wellbutrin, and Effexor. I'm worried about the serotonin and weight. Appetite isn't a problem whatsoever. They didn't make me hungry. I've never over eaten and always workout for at least 2 hours daily, being a competitive athlete.
No weight gain yet, but I am on it only a little over a week, I think. I have gained weight on the other AD's like you and while I am not really competiive, I am an athlete of sorts. The other AD's made it really hard to get the motivation to do athletic endeavors however. So far, weight neutral but between the effexor withdrawal and migrains that I can't take the triptans for with the patch, I have not gotten back up to speed with my activities yet. It is a nod to the patch that I am not freaking out about getting flabbly....
