About 30% of people who take lexapro gain weight. This isn't inherent in the drug itself, but in restoration of appetite in people who were depressed and not eating. Zoloft is known to cause weight gain in patients. Wellbutrin is known as the skinny, happy, sexy pill (you actually can lose weight on that antidepressant AND quit smoking!). Cymbalta also does not seem to cause weight gain. I've been changed to rimadol and WOW! Weight gain! Although I started out as a size 0...laugh. I'm up to a size 3 in just 1 month!
