I’m about to start anti depressants but I’m really worried about the weight gain and decreased metabolism. I’m on a meal plan so everything is tracked. My question is- is anyone else on anti depressants and have you guys had issues with weight gain or not able to lose weight from the decreased metabolism?

please no negative comments about anti depressants and how I should try other things first. I have tried everything and I obviously don’t want to start these meds but sometimes we have to do things

Edit: I am currently on 20mg vyvanse LA and I am starting lexapro. 5mg for one week, then increasing to 10mg. I wonder if Wellbutrin would be better for me because it’s more that I have no energy or motivation to do anything or go anywhere.
