Possible side effect: Some people do experience weight gain with anti depressant. There are multiple theories behind that however, key point is check with doctor if switching can be an option . With any anti depressant its advisable to increase exercises and eat more healthy to prevent any possible weight gain. Not clear if you are taking any other med that's interact with SSRI. Seeing dietician can be an option.
