Anti-Depressants and Weight Gain

I have gained a pretty significant amount of weight over the years (40 lbs), specifically ever since I was put on Citalopram in late 2014. I’ve decided I’m done because I feel like my metabolism has been shot to shit from Citalopram. Has anyone had this experience? Were you able to start getting weight off? I’ve been off Citalopram for a week.
