I gained like 70lbs then lost it all after getting off of them. Losing that much weight while depressed was a bitch and a half.

    There is no way that amount of weight gain was caused by an sri. Maybe you were on something else like an atypical/tricyclic antidepressant? Or maybe you were just depressed?

    Nope

    No shit. But I was depressed before, and I was depressed after. It was over a period of more than a year. Same for the loss. I didn’t just puff up like Violet in a chocolate factory lol.

    I'm sure you didn't. I don't doubt that the meds contributed somewhat, but there's just no evidence that these agents can cause a weight gain of that magnitude on their own. Even the individual uncontrolled longitudinal studies that show the highest amounts of weight gain demonstrate at most 5-8kg increase.
