I would say the junk food makes it worse not the weight sugar and processed foods make anxiety worse. Sometimes extra weight can make your heart rate faster as it needs to work harder so that may contribute?

I've gained weight since being on citalopram :-( I just can't loose any either and got it into my head there's something medically wrong with me as I've gained weight xx

Ho M1987, I gained weight with citalpram after starting it and my doctor agreed and took me off it straight away to stop the weight continuing,so yes citalpram put weight on me, Hope your ok

No I don't think so. Ive not gained much weight over the years and I still have anxiety and panic attacks. Just think it's unbalance of some kind in the body and then a vicious cycle of psychological torment.

Like feisty Rachel says I think it could be anxiety causing weight gain
