Fluoxetine - Weight gain or loss?

Thank you all for your help. I am now going to try homeopathy.

Shanparry; for some reason I don't know if your getting these but this keeps coming back without anymore comments I still stand by my first answer. But if you are showing problems you can talk to the doctor But it is hard to find a medication for some that works so i would try and adjust lifestyle more than the medication because this seems to be helping you. Have a great day

There are many drugs in this family, you may need to just ask your physician to try something different. Or is it possible that something else is causing the weight gain. Have you had labs lately. If not ask for labs to be drawn, disorders such as thyroid issues could be contributing to your change in weight as can many other medical issues. Good luck to you.

I took Prozac when I was in my 30s & did not gain weight nor lose weight. I was just nauseous for the first 2 days, then no SEs. At 60 yrs I took Paxil & started to gain weight. For me, Paxil had a lot of SEs.

Yes Fluoxetine is more a weight neutral medication it is pretty rare to gain weight on this medication. And loss of appetite so make sure you watch your meals to make sure you continue to eat the right amout. Paxil many people without a lot of changes can hold your weight just by doing a bit of walking, And just watch what you are eating I am adding this because if you have a medication that is working pretty good not all of them well do the same.
