> Has anyone else found excessive hunger a side effect of Prozac? I've been on it a week and literally feel weak with hunger a lot of the time although I'm eating the same amount I did before the tablet! Am I burning up my food quicker or is it just doing weird things to my body? I hate the hunger and want to stop taking Prozac!! I'm only on 20mg and my doctor wants me up to 60mg!!
I started Prozac again about 3 weeks ago (40mg). I've been on and off of it a few times, and the side effects are mostly different every time. Except for one: HUNGER! I am hungry all the time, so I know how you feel. What's keeping me from gaining weight is that I eat fruit when I'm really hungry between meals. ALso, the excessive hunger is starting to go away now, so it's not too bad. Last time I was on Prozac I don't even remember if the hunger went away, but I was also eating all the time anyway and wouldn't allow myself to even feel hungry. Hope the hunger starts to go away for you! It should, but just try to eat well and don't listen to your hunger too much.
