hi guys
ive been following this thread and wanted to ask about Prozac and weight gain? i was recently diagnosed with an eating disorder, although i am not yet in therapy and having a tough time right now. i was on paxil at one point (like someone else was saying, i was working out, dieting/low carb, still gaining weight) and gained about 20 pounds which sent me into a tailspin mentally. i swore off all ADs for a year until its become necessary for me to do something, as my depression is currently so bad. my doctor tried me on Cymbalta but i found it very constipating (sorry to be gross!) and now she switched me to prozac.i am very anxious about gaining weight on prozac. i am on 20mg. ive heard a lot about a "reversal" when people dont gain initially but then suddenly there is 20 pounds sitting there. sorry to be a nut but my husband does not understand this when i stress about it.
thanks
jessie
