Which of the substances will have the greatest sedative effect and at the same time the smallest weight gain : Venlafaxine, Fluoxetine, Sertraline or Escitalopram?

Fluoxetine, Sertraline and Escitalopram belong to the same group of medicines (SSRIs). They are used to treat anxiety, depression, phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorders. Venlafaxine belongs to a different group of drugs (SNRIs) and - although used to treat the same disorders - it has a slightly different profile of action and has a slightly more activating effect. The decision on the selection of the right substance should be made by the doctor on the basis of medical history and tests. All of these drugs can cause side effects, among which weight gain is mentioned. Please note that not every patient has the side effects listed in the package leaflet.
