A member asked:
Can antidepressants make it more difficult to lose weight? on pristiq 50mg and been walking briskly with basically minimal weight loss.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: It is more likely in my opinion that inadequately managed depression and sleep issues are interfering with weight loss.
