Do ssris's cause you to hold onto excess weight? would it be easier to lose weight on something like depakote instead? i'm 9 mos pp, just switched med

SSRI,Depakote,Wgt gn: Some people gain weight with SSRIs and some do not. Others use Wellbutrin (bupropion) instead because you are less likely to gain weight. Depakote is also associated with weight gain.
