Does Viibryd cause weight gain? I was advised to take this AD because according to the studies it would not cause weight gain. Is this true?

Question

I have GAD and an eating disorder. I have taken Celexa and cipralex (no libido) then Cymbalta. I gained about 20 lbs. A psychiatrist had prescribed me Lamictal / tegretol but my new psychiatrist does not consider that I have a mood disorder. According to him, Viibryd does not cause weight gain. Considering the price, is this true?

Good evening ma'am, The data on this drug does indeed indicate that it is neutral on weight gain. That said, this was the case for some drugs when they were first marketed (this drug is very new) and in the years since we have sometimes found out that this was not the case. I don't want to sound pessimistic, but I would rather provide you with the real information. That said, based on the background you provide, I do indeed believe this is a good choice!" Good evening, Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
