A member asked:
Can you tell me if there are any depression medications that don't make you gain weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
There are no: Depression medications that cause everyone to gain weight. So, weight gain may occur in some people but not in others. Wellbutrin (bupropion) can actually be helpful to lose weight in people who have depression.
