All of the SSRI antidepressants have a "reputation" for weight gain.
Atkins might mitigate that. It might not.
The only modern antidepressant that has been scientifically proven not to do that is Wellbutrin.
I think most of the cases of weight gain are because the assumption is that depressed people eat less, and when people aren't depressed, they can stand to eat more. Also, there's some neurochemical mumbojumbo by which if serotonin is absorbed more slowly, it can cause hunger.
Try it. If you don't like it, try something else.
Don't worry about a thing. Life's too short!
