Antidepressants are generally not recommended for weight loss, as many of them are associated with weight gain as a side effect. However, weight gain is a common problem for people with depression and can be a barrier to effective treatment. If you are struggling with depression and weight gain, it is important to talk to your doctor about your options.

List of weight loss promoting antidepressant medications

While weight gain is a common side effect of many antidepressants, there are some that may cause weight loss as a side effect. These include:

  • Bupropion (Wellbutrin): This medication is commonly used to treat depression and smoking cessation, and it may cause weight loss as a side effect.
  • Fluoxetine (Prozac): This medication is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) commonly used to treat depression, anxiety, and other mental health conditions. It may cause weight loss as a side effect.
  • Sertraline (Zoloft): Another SSRI used to treat depression, anxiety, and other mental health conditions, sertraline may cause weight loss as a side effect.
