Re: prozac weight gain

In reply to prozac weight gain, posted by laura on March 25, 1999, at 19:31:46

I gained about 8 pounds on Prozac after being on it for a couple years. I lost weight at first. Both of these are fairly common effects of the drug (and SSRIs in general). 25 pounds is uncommon, but not unheard of.

You'll *probably* lose weight at first on the Celexa; you may lose much of what you gained on the Prozac. But probably you'll gain some of it back after taking it for a while. (But different people react differently to these drugs, so one can't say for sure.)

Effexor causes less weight gain in some than do the SSRIs; you may want to give it a look. I'd stay away from Remeron and most tricyclics if you're concerned about weight gain. (For Cindy: probably much of your weight gain is due to the Remeron--it causes less weight gain at higher doses; this may be something to think about.)

Best,

Matt
