Abstract
This reanalysis of data demonstrates that anti-histaminergic activity is the strongest predictor of weight gain with antidepressants. These results further stress a reclassification of antidepressants according to their pharmacodynamic properties, and suggest avoiding prescribing antidepressants with an anti-histaminergic profile to patients at risk for cardio-metabolic disturbances.
