Hi.
I am taking Prozac for OCD.
I think it is starting to kick in.
I have used Zoloft and that made me gain weight. So I reduced my doses to 50mg from 175mg. So I am now taking just 50 mg. The weight gain has stopped. I have been taking Prozac, and do not seem to have gained anything yet. My appetite seems strange, at times gone and at times I eat. I play with my doses I am supposed to be at 40mg but have gone up to 60mg (OCD got bad), but I am planning to drop to 40mg and follow Docs orders. I do know what SSRI's are and how they workk, so I am not looking for explanations.
What I want to know - has anyone taken any other SSRI and gained weight, then gone onto Prozac, and lost? How long does it take before weight loss occurs? Also, could Zoloft 50mg be preventing weight loss, even though I am on Prozac and holding my weight constant.
I can pretty much deal anything but weight gain. Any experiences?
