Citalopram and Weight Gain

Citalopram and Weight Gain

I'm currently taking 20MG of Citalopram, once daily before bed.  I'm also taking Belladonna Alkaloids with PB- two tabs 4x daily for IBS.  

I had weight loss issues with the IBS symptoms- since a major side effect of Citalopram can be weight gain, is the fact that I'm merely holding weight now instead of losing it a result of Citalopram?  i.e. if I wasn't on it, would I still be losing weight?

Patients will both gain or lose weight on Celexa. Weight gain often occurs while on antidepressants because as mood improves, your appetite returns and you simply eat more.
