A member asked:
Is there a way not to gain weight from an ssri?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I don't think that weight gain is inevitable while taking SSRIs. Calories are one of the things you can control. Exercise is another factor. A dietician or nutritionist can advise you as to what your ideal weight is, how many calories you should take in daily depending upon your usual physical activity level and your eating habits will be critiqued. Sample diets can be given. All this in 1 visit
