[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 17 year old daughter has been on an SSRI for 3-4 years and has gained a lot of weight. Her doctor says it’s not the SSRI because they are “weight neutral.” I hear stories like this all the time, and everyone I know who has gone on one has gained a significant amount of weight.

It’s so frustrating, my daughter has just accepted that she’s a little fat and thinks that is just who she is now (she’s about 30 pounds overweight). And she doesn’t want to go off of the SSRI because she’s afraid of the anxiety going away. She’s adorable and I think she looks fine, but I see it’s harder for her to run (she plays a varsity sport) and she’s had to buy all new clothes.[/quote]

Doctors who say sSRI’s are weight neutral are ignorant and have never likely taken one.  They’re just repeating something the manufacturer or drug rep likely said to them. [/quote]

It’s so strange because this doctor has a lot of experience and we otherwise really love him![/quote]
