I didn't realise over the years I was taking Citalopram that it can causes weight gain. There seems to be various theories as to why - slows metabolism/eating more. Anyway, I completely stopped taking it at the end of May this year. I actively lost some weight over the summer and lost just over a stone. I've kind of fallen off the wagon again the last couple of months, but noticed that the weight hasn't gone back on. I've read a few people have experienced weight loss after stopping it, without even trying. Has anyone else experienced this?
