This is one big reason I'm getting off this drug and currently in horrible withdrawals from it - day 14. Here you can read the truth about weight gain from these drugs:
http://www.prozactruth.com/weight.htm
They all cause weight gain because they SLOW your metabolism!!! The doctors don't tell you this because they get $$kick backs$$ from the drug companies! They want you on the drugs! Most drs don't care about their patients.
You can run 5 miles a day on your treadmill for a month and wont loose a single pound! I have tried it, I'm living proof. Your metabolism is so slow you are fighting a losing battle.
