Did Your Antidepressant Cause Weight Gain?
Visit LLSupplement today Can antidepressants cause weight gain? Weight gain is one of the most common concerns people have when starting an antidepressant. While some medications may contribute to weight changes, it’s often not because they directly create body fat. Increased appetite, cravings, fatigue, reduced physical activity, and appetite returning as depression improves can all play a role. In this episode, holistic pharmacist Larry Pham explains why weight gain can happen, why you should never stop an antidepressant without medical guidance, and practical strategies that may help—including eating more protein and fiber, reducing late-night snacking, adding daily movement, and working with your pharmacist or prescriber if weight becomes a concern. This episode also introduces the LL Wellness approach: simple, sustainable habits through Eatwell and Livewell that support long-term health alongside your prescribed treatment. Key Takeaways Not all antidepressants have the same effect on weight. Appetite, cravings, and fatigue often contribute more than the medication itself. Don’t stop your medication without speaking to your healthcare provider. Small lifestyle changes can make a meaningful difference. Your mental health and physical health deserve equal attention.

The Pharmacy Perspective: When Patients Are Afraid of Needles
Semaglutide does come in an oral tablet form, not just a weekly injection. Same active ingredient, different routine. The tablet can be a good option for patients who avoid injections, but it is not “easier” automatically. It must be taken first thing in the morning, on an empty stomach, with no more than 4 ounces of water, then you wait 30 minutes before food, drinks, or other medications. Needle anxiety can stop people from staying consistent. Oral semaglutide may help some patients, but the routine matters. Ask your pharmacist before switching or adjusting therapy.

That dark spot on your cheek may not be “just age.” In this week’s Trend Talk, pharmacist Larry Pham explores the hidden story behind sun spots, uneven skin tone, and why many men overlook the one habit that could make the biggest difference for long-term skin health.
