In reply to prozac weight gain, posted by laura on March 25, 1999, at 19:31:46
> Has anyone lost the weight gained from prozac? I was on it for 1 year nd gained 25 pounds. My doctor perscribed Celexa, but I can't bring myself to start taking it--too scared of more weight gain. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Laura, I have been on prozac and now on celexa and remeron for depression. I have gained approx. 40lbs. since I have been on medication. It can be very depressing I know to have the extra weight but as for me my depression is much worse. I keep hoping by taking the medication maybe I will feel better and can start exercising. I hope the same for you. I know society plays a big role in how we should look or how we should act. We just have to keep reminding ourselves it is what is on the inside of a person that counts. Good luck in losing the weight but don't neglect your mental status.
