Re: Weight gain after stopping Prozac

In reply to Weight gain after stopping Prozac, posted by janejj on March 8, 2003, at 21:04:40

Hi Janejj:

When I quit Celexa in August of 2002, I gained about 10 to 15 pounds in about 2 months after I quit the Celexa.

I had lost about 20 pounds on Celexa, but I don't think the Celexa was the only reason I lost the weight. I am an anxious depressive, so that is another reason I lost the weight.

When I went off Celexa, I couldn't get enough chocolate or carbs. I believe it was my body's way of getting more serotonin. You really have to be aware of what you are eating. Have you been eating more? What are you eating? Etc, etc.

I have started back on the Celexa and have lost 5 pounds in one month. For some reason Celexa helps me not want to eat mega amounts of carbs or chocolate. Actually chocolate makes me quezy. I tend to make better food choices on Celexa.

Good luck.
