Why Does Citalopram Cause Weight Gain And Prevent Weight Loss?

A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭
Krugersdorp, ZA

I have been using depression meds containing Citalopram for year and my weight has just gond up and up. Diets are very hard to follow as trying to lose any weight is slow and demotivating.

I have heard that meds containing Citalopram can make it very difficult to loose weight, is this true?

A MyDepressionTeam Member

This has been my experience. I have read complaints of many people who gained significant weight on Citalopram. There are always exceptions, of course. I have cravings for carbs and sweets.

A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭
Pocatello, ID

I'm bipolar and have depression issues. I seem to bounce back and forth frequently. I have times my sex drive is so high, that's all I want to do. I do self medicate with marijuana which increases my sexual desires but it's even high without it. Not just regular sex either, risky sex with pretty much strangers. Is this just me or my condition?
