In reply to How long until Prozac Weight gain kicks in?, posted by MB on September 8, 2002, at 19:40:16
Hi MB,
I'm sorry, I can't answer your question in regards to the Prozac and weight gain, but I can tell you that there are other medications to treat depression that help you lose the weight as well. I've been taking Effexor XR since last November and have since then lost over 30lbs, and stayed the same for months now. The drug shouldn't be taken to lose weight, I've been taking it for panic attacks but all I'm saying is that it has helped me lose the weight, and kept it off. My doctor monitors me every month, to make sure I'm not losing anymore. I know that alot of people on this medication have experienced the same thing.
Maybe you can talk to your doctor about Effexor, learn more about the drug and it's effects. I wish you the best of luck, keep me posted.
