Can antidepressants caused extreme weight gain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not extreme: Though many of the antidepressants can cause some weight gain, it is usually not extreme. In my experience, mirtazepine (remeron) is most likely to cause weight gain and venlafaxine (effexor) or Cymbalta (duloxetine) are least likely.
