SSRI's can make you crave sugar I can't give you the science behind it but you can research it. I have been on two and both did it. It is insidious too. YOu don't know or realize it as it creeps up on you. I was at an ideal weight for me too when I went on lexapro this last time. I had lost all the weight I had gain on cymbalta.

As much as depression is hard enough, I am sorry weight gain, is unacceptable for me. The biggest issue for me is I didn't want to eat anything but sugar. No veggies, no fruit, I wanted HARD candy. It was HARD to stop even after I stopped the lex. So I don't think SSRI's are neutral and besides the information collected from the manufacturers stopped after 12 weeks. How would they know what the additional side effects are unless they continue to monitor it and why would and why would they let out that weight gain is a side effect that is definitely one they would hide. We aren't exactly a skinny nation. There are a lot of people here that have had weight gain from AD's. And for me lex nor cymbalta did what I needed from either to justify the weight gain. I felt worse in both cases. Too flat. rk
