A recent study published in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine examined the weight gain effects of eight commonly prescribed antidepressants. Results showed that sertraline (Zoloft) was associated with an average weight gain of 0.5 pounds at six months and 3.2 pounds at 24 months, with escitalopram (Lexapro) and paroxetine (Paxil) posing a higher risk of gaining at least 5% of baseline weight. Duloxetine (Cymbalta) was linked to a 10% increased risk of weight gain compared to sertraline. Bupropion (Wellbutrin) was the only antidepressant that showed a small amount of weight loss at six months.
