Yes, SSRIs are actually commonly prescribed for IBS. Something like 90% of the serotonin in your body is in your gut. Psychedelics like Shrooms and LSD, which mimic serotonin, completely cut off appetite. The effects of SSRIs on weight are various. Serotonergic drugs are a huge class, it's hard to classify their effects, but primarily they are gastrointenstinal and psychological. All I know is that I've taken enough acid now where even caffeine makes me trip out a little. Still drinking green tea though. There's some anxiolytic compound in there, L-theanine, which mitigates the negative effects of caffeine use.
