Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.

After reading your post, I would like to tell you that antidepressant medicines usually increase the weight.
The medicines you have mentioned also tend to change weight, though slightly.

I would suggest that you should discuss with your treating doctor as he is the best judge to decide about the role of benefits over side effects.

You can go for regular weight management exercises to prevent drug induced weight gain.

I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
