ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: Serotonin reuptake inhibitors cause weight gain, leading to drug discontinuation, relapse, and worsening of symptoms. This study aims to investigates the effect of metformin on weight loss, anthropometric indicators and laboratory assessments in patients of Rasht city.
METHODS: This clinical trial study with parallel-group design was organized based on 60 patients in treatment group (undergoing metformin) and 60 patients in control group (undergoing routine treatment) in Shafa hospital during July 2019 to January 2020. First, we determined the overweight patients. After that, a psychiatric assistant randomly divides them into two groups, intervention and control. Both groups of patients will be explained in terms of how they were studied and whether or not they received metformin. In order to statistical analysis of collected data, we applied the Mann-Whitney U test and repeated measures ANOVA. For conducting all analysis, the IBM SPSS Statistics 28 software was used.
RESULTS: The mean BMI and abdominal circumference decreased significantly in the intervention group. The wrist circumference in the intervention group decreased over time, but this difference was not statistically significant. There was no statistically significant difference between the average changes of the mean values of the laboratory assessment among the group.
CONCLUSION: Weight gain can cause problems related to compliance with treatment and anxiety and depression. On the other hand, in our study, metformin was not superior to lifestyle improvements and practicing preventive methods for weight control. Further research on SSRIs and monitoring of anthropometric indices is recommended.
