Prozac.............

My doc switched me over to prozac, just started 3 weeks ago.I did not have any weight gain. It had a reverse effect on me; I lost my appetite/a few pounds. I have to force myself to eat, because if I do not eat I will get a terrible headache. Another side effect that I have is dry mouth.

I took it for quite a while, & it helped my depression a lot. I did not gain weight on it. In fact, it suppressed my appetite so I did not eat as much. But everyone reacts differently to meds.

I would say it is worth a try. Prozac is a fine medicine as far as I am aware. I think it is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) & is in the same class as other anti-depressants such as Zoloft & Celexa or Lexapro. These r very effective for a lot of people. So give it a try, & take note of any side effects & see how u r feeling. If it works, great, but if not, then u can always try something else.

I have been on Prozac, but I am not right now. I did not notice any weight gain at all. It helped me a lot--and I mean a lot. I went from feeling terrible about everything to feeling normal. It was wonderful. I felt like I could think clearly again. It might take a couple weeks to get the full effect, so be patient & keep taking it even if u do not notice anything right away. Unless, of course, u experience any negative side effects, in which case u should call ur doctor. Hope u feel better soon.

i am using it from along time.it has helped a lot in coming out of depression.i have gained weight by about 5 kgs. but i do not think it because of medicine.it is more because of lifestyle.its a long treatment and you may have to take medicine for few years.
