I have been on Prozac for nine months and my weight has remained about the same... I may have lost a few pounds. I found that my depression was lifted and I had more "mental" energy to work out, run, bike, etc. I would get in such funks, cry, etc., before Prozac -- I was exhausted! I have always been a regular exerciser, so motivation was not a big issue for me. However, Prozac killed my libido, so now I'm trying Paxil. I really want to quit this antidepressant all together and take another approach... get back into regular therapy, meditation group? I'm especially nervous about continuing on Paxil given the all the previous "weight gain" reports. For me, Prozac worked great. My sister also had much luck with it. If having a "normal" libido at this point in you life is not a priority, I highly recommend it.
