Has anyone had a bad experience with weight gain taking Prozac?

Question: I am very sensitive to weight gain using SSRIs I just got on prozac and i need to know if anyone has gained weight off of it. My doctor said that he has not experienced patients with weight gain from this before. I am heavier than i ever was from meds and i know i would really fall apart if i gained off these.

Answers:
It is HIGHLY unlikely to gain weight from prozac.

In fact, many people lose while taking it - 'tis one of the very few that has this effect, and it tends to work very well for depression.

I have been taking Prozac for about a year and half now and I haven't gained weight from it. I begin taking it when I was about 5 months pregnant and gained less weight with my pregnancy than most women (20 lbs) and after the birth of my baby, still on Prozac, I weigh less than when I got pregnant. But I think it all boils down to the physiology of your body. Some people are prone to weight gain and others are not.
