My question is what anti depressants do not put weight on? I know me and if the meds pack on the weight I will stop them. I am mostly interested in SSRI's (I think that is what they are called). My insurance isn't so hot so I can't take any brands so the real new ones probably won't be an option. Also, what about the anti psychotics? Who knows what the psychiatrist will suggest?

Thanks!
Wellbutrin and Parnate (an MAOI but a great drug!) both are known for their weightloss profile. Most of the SSRI's tend towards weight gain.
