A side effect of SSRI anti depressants is either weightloss/gain. I was wondering what causes this. Is it caused by physiological alterations in metabolism/hormones, or simply an increase/decrease in appetite.
Does anyone have any information on SSRIs interfering with muscle gain/fat loss/altering general body composition?

Probably all of the above. The drugs both dick up your appetite and disrupt your hormones. I really can’t recommend enough that you just stay the hell away from them at all costs. I’d rather be depressed than medicated again.
