No. Wellbutrin is a good example of a drug that doesn't lead to weight gain. I have been taking Zoloft for panic attacks for years and in fact have lost and maintained weight since being on it.

Years ago I took Wellbutrin to help control migraine headaches. I gained a lot of weight without changing my eating habits. The neurologist said this was not one of the side effects of this medication. I asked him to take me off of it. He asked me if I would prefer to be fat and headache free, or thin with headaches. I insisted off the meds and I immediately started to drop the weight and had very few headaches after that.

SSRIs like Prozac, actually tend to cause weight lose.
Tricyclics like Elavil, cause an increase of appetite..so you gain weight.

yes . they change not only your brain chemistry but also your body metabolism mechanism. Use them and you need to change you food style.
Interesting is people who start a small exercises program (5 minute day work up to 20 minute day over 2 months )
find a reduction in antidepressant needed.

Not the newer ones like Lexapro and Wellbutrin.
The older ones, like Zoloft and Prozac, yes.
