A side effect of SSRI anti depressants is either weightloss/gain. I was wondering what causes this. Is it caused by physiological alterations in metabolism/hormones, or simply an increase/decrease in appetite.
Does anyone have any information on SSRIs interfering with muscle gain/fat loss/altering general body composition?
Probably all of the above. The drugs both dick up your appetite and disrupt your hormones. I really can’t recommend enough that you just stay the hell away from them at all costs. I’d rather be depressed than medicated again.
ok try www.crazymeds.us
click on the “All about antidepressants” link in the left pane and select ssri’s
there’s a pretty decent rundown on the actual chemical responses.
