Hey draisy,
I've read in various places that Prozac -- even in the long term -- can be a crap-shoot in terms of wieght gain. Some people gain a lot. Some people gain nothing. (Or maybe lose a little bit and then stabilize.)
One med not on your list that seems to be pretty weight neutral is Serzone (nefazodone). The one issue with this drug is a *very* rare chance of liver failure, which means getting your liver (ALT) tested every so often (fairly frequently at first). The other issue, of course, is that as with any drug it might not work. (It was a complete bust for me, but I lost weight and had a fantastic libido -- the other big concern for me with ADs.)
Hope this helps. Good luck!
