Prozac………….?
Neone in here on Prozac? I was diagnosed with Post Partum depression today and they gave me Prozac because I have been on anti-depressents since I was about 13 and nothing has seemed to help me. I read that one of the biggest side affects was weight gain, but the doctor told me that its usually only about 5 pounds during the time you take it, but has anyone experienced alot of weight gain while on the medicene? And did the medicene really help you? How did you feel when you took it? Let me know what all you know about it if you have or still are taking it:D I have already talked to my doctor about it, but she doesnt take it and I want to know what people think about that have actually taken it, or still are taking it. Thanx

I took it for quite a while, and it helped my depression a lot. I didn’t gain weight on it. In fact, it suppressed my appetite so I didn’t eat as much. But everyone reacts differently to meds.
I would say it’s worth a try. Prozac is a fine medicine as far as I’m aware. I think it is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) and is in the same class as other anti-depressants such as Zoloft and Celexa or Lexapro. These are very effective for a lot of people. So give it a try, and take note of any side effects and see how you are feeling. If it works, great, but if not, then you can always try something else.
I have been on Prozac, but I’m not right now. I didn’t 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 and keep taking it even if you don’t notice anything right away. Unless, of course, you experience any negative side effects, in which case you should call your doctor. Hope you feel better soon.
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 don’t eat I will get a terrible headache. Another side effect that I have is dry mouth.
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.
