Struggling to lose weight gained on antidepressants

Gained about 20 lbs on antidepressants (Lexapro) and had to get off of them. 5 weeks later and I still can’t shake the weight even with keto diet and exercise. Has anyone been able to lose the weight they gained on SSRI’s?

It is quite a challenge, I heard Wellbutrin can be a good alternative to promote weight loss.

I'm on wellbutrin and a couple side affects are weight loss and loss of appetite but I'm convinced the loss of appetite stems from nausea. I wanna throw up all the time

I am taking bupropion and one of the side effects is weight loss ... You can consult your doctor who will help you find the medicine that is best for you.
