Does Brintellix cause weight gain?

Studies show that vortioxetine (Brintellix) does not cause weight gain, which is its undoubted advantage compared to other antidepressants. Of course, it is not said that you could not have such an effect. If you suspect an adverse reaction, I encourage you to report: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jak-i-dlaczego-zglaszac-dzialania-niepozadane I encourage you to take a closer look at your diet and eating habits.

Hello,

I've been taking Brintellix since September 2025 and already gained 6 kg in 6 months, I'm going to become obese if I gain one kilos/month.

Dear people, no drug causes weight gain, only a caloric surplus. Kilograms don't come from a pill, it doesn't work like that. I am a dietitian.

I've been on brindellix for 10 months I'm at 8 l=kgs of weight gain

I (m) 52 years have been taking brintellux for 6 months and have already gained 8kg despite sports and normal nutrition:-(

For my part, more than 5 kg in 4 months, despite the sport 4 intense sessions per week and controlled diet with a deficit of 500 kg or 1500 kal per day, nothing helps, it climbs!

Hello

I confirm weight gain despite morning fasting, sport and very balanced meals! + 5kg!!
