Weight Gain with Meds

How many of you gained weight if you went on an SSRI? (ie, paxil, prozac, zoloft, lexapro, celexa)  I have a feeling I will be prescribed one as wellbutrin in the past really didn't do much good for me in the long run, and worried about how the SSRI will affect my appetite.  I have more time to think about it, as I've not made any  appts yet.  It is so difficult to pin down my DH to watch my DD so I can have a baby free appt- which I guess leads to the question of do you bring your baby to your appts and how well does that go?

    I'm on Zoloft.  I haven't gained any weight, but I haven't lost that last 15 pounds either (.. but that may be because I'm not putting in the effort to exercize or resist cookies)

     I haven't had to take my DD to an appointment, but I hope they would be understanding at the office

    I never gained weight on SSRI's (zoloft, celexa, lexapro), but DID gain weight on the tricyclics (clompipramine) and Seroquel. I've gained 20 lbs and can't get it off, no matter what I try. I'm even on Pristiq and Wellbutrin (known for weight loss) but still nothing. Ugh.
