Has anyone gotten diabetes from long term ssri use, like >8yrs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: There is an increase in Insulin resistance and potential for diabetes with atypical antipsychotics, but not w/ssri's. However, if you gain weight while on them, you increase your Insulin resistance and potential for diabetes.
