Brief Answer:
Consultation
Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.
There are two antidepressants that I would suggest. The first is venlafaxine, which does not cause weight gain. The second is bupropion, which can actually contribute to weight loss. The other antidepressants contribute to small (less than 5 pounds) weight gain.
