I've been on prozac for a couple of years now and have put on weight during that time. I'm not sure how much I can blame the medication for it, as I definitely need to improve my diet and exercise more! I'm definitely at the heaviest I've ever been and feeling daunted at how much I've got to lose. Has anyone else found they put on more weight while on antidepressants?
I'll be reducing my dosage gradually over the next few months from 40mg and 20mg and was just wondering if it might help with weight loss? I've been reading that people who've been on antidepressants long term can often put on weight particularly around the middle? Is there anyone else who has found that on fluoxetine?
TIA :)
