Is anti depression medication linked to weight gain?

Just had baby 5 months ago and was put on Zoloft/Lexapro for postpartum blues..Please help

First of all, I think you should talk with your doctor about this, not a message board where any armchair physician can give their opinion.
Having said that, I am on anti-depressants and yes, some can cause weight gain. However, depression can also cause weight gain because you're less active. By being more active I have actually lost 19 pounds.
Lastly I have to say that short term medication for your postpartum blues is a lot safer than allowing the depression to overtake you. Relax about it, you will get past this and then you'll wean off the meds and you'll be too busy with you're little one to worry about this.
Good luck.
