No, they do not have appetite suppressants. In fact, if your brother is depressed, going on anti-depressants will lessen depression, which often causes people to not eat. In other words, the anti-depressants might help him GAIN weight. But it depends on him.

The majority of popular antidepressants (e.g., SSRIs, SSNRIs) are not associated with weight loss. If you are concerned about appetite suppression, avoid Wellbutrin (an atypical anti depessent) and Topamax (sometimes used as a mood stabilizer).

My reaction is to chat on your neuro approximately your AC. Depakote could reason melancholy in some. counting on your epilepsy, switching to Lamictal may well be an especially stable flow. Lamictal has a rather stable antidepressant result. even nonetheless that's high priced, you ought to have the means to choose on your melancholy and get a twofer out of it. additionally, counting on your income, GlaxoSmithKline has a affected person assistance software. As for antidepressants, i'm particular you psychiatrist can arise with some extra. some issues to evaluate are that there is a testosterone creme that could help women who exchange into anorgasmic on classified ads. concerning weight benefit, in view which you're epileptic, you in addition to could ought to talk on your neuro approximately Topamax in hopes which you get the loss/decreased urge for nutrition or style perversion section result as the thank you to regulate ingesting. in case you have TLE, which would be all around suitable. I certainly have bipolar affliction with suspected TLE, and characteristic taken all of those issues. classified ads positioned weight on me, yet mya, not something like Depakote!

Antidepressants do not contain anything that would cause your brother to lose weight. Antidepressants contain ingredients that take the edge off anxieties & depression.

Maybe him being so thin indicates a bad diet, this could also be causing what you believe to be depression.
I don't believe anyone needs drugs. we just need good diets, good friends, sunshine and exercise.
