My dr. put me on Prozac over 3 months ago to help my recovery from bulimia. I must say my appetite is less and I rarely binge now but I have gained 20 pounds!! 15 of these pounds have come on in the past 3 weeks. I am eating less than before I was on the drug and am working out 7 days a week....50 minutes of cardio and 30 minutes of weights.
Has this drug shut down my metabolism?
I am worried and going to stop taking it. My dr. suggested Wellbutrin. Will I gain on that too?
Does anybody know why these drugs cause weight gain when your habits become healthier -- does the weight come off after the drug leaves your system?
Thank you! I am completely frustrated with this and my dr. can't give me an answer.
