If you aren't doing anything to lose weight, I probably wouldn't wait that long to bring it up. It's not a healthy way to lose weight, unfortunately. Although, I will admit, I would enjoy that side effect right now too lol

I lost some weight when I started citalopram, but it leveled out after a few weeks. I was tempted not to tell my doctor, like you said, but I think I would have told her something was up if I was lost more than 10lbs in the first month. I think 10 lbs is reasonable because my weight fluctuates by a few pounds each month.
I was put on it for PMDD, but I also noticed that my anxiety has lessened, which is nice.
I lost a lot of weight when I started taking Paxil. It was consistent for the first 3 or so months and then my apetite returned. It was so weird, like no food appealed to me at all.
