Contrasting with the predicted anorexigenic effect of increasing brain serotonin signaling, long-term use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressants correlates with body weight (BW) gain. This adverse outcome increases the risk of transitioning to obesity and interferes with treatment compliance. Here, we show that orally administered fluoxetine (Flx), a widely prescribed SSRI, increased BW by enhancing food intake in healthy mice at 2 different time points and through 2 distinct mechanisms.

Mirtazapine augmentation to a serotonin-reuptake inhibitor has been proposed to boost antidepressant effects and more likely to induce manic switch. Such a combined antidepressant therapy strategy should be used carefully if the patient's refractoriness is attributable to mixed depressive features. Mixed depression is more difficult to be treated by antidepressant monotherapy and related to higher risk of manic switch during treatment.
