Im using Prozac,60mg for OCD and it seems to be quiet effective. My appetite seems to be gone, but I seem to have constipation. I was previously on Zoloft, 175 mg, before I discontinued it due to costs and weight gain. I am using generic Prozac becuase its cheap and have started taking 25mg of Topamax with each Prozac capsule.
I am quite worried about the weight gain as I am athletic and I have gained 11 pounds with Zoloft. So far, after using Prozac for +-5 weeks my weight appears to be stable. I don`t want gain, and I want to get back to what I was. I do excerise and all, but it just bothers me. I do know what SSRIs are and how they work and their side effects and so on, so I don`t need an explanation - I also know about Wellbutrin and Effexor and so on. But generic prozac is CHEAP!!
My strategy is to take 25mg Topamax (Topiramate) tablets with every dose of Prozac (20mg) I take a 20mg dose three times a day.
Has any1 had any luck?Experiences/opinions/inputs and stories please?

Are you being prescribed the Topamax? What does your doctor say? I tried Topomax to combat weight gain and saw no real difference, certainly not enough to use it for that purpose alone. I totally feel your pain since I have gained about 50 lbs over the last ten years while getting my mental health care under control but all the medicines do is increase appetite. I found that a diet supplement helps with that better than an additional medication. Good luck.

i discovered the e book to be very informative and elementary to study. i've got lost 17 kilos in 12 days, i'm in basic terms in touch that i'm dropping too plenty weight, too directly. i will admit i've got no longer observed the handbook precisely. i'm no longer sticking completely to the indexed meals and meal plans (yet customarily) and doing little or no exercising, however the load retains flying off. It for sure works and if i might observed it precisely i think of it might scare the living daylights out of me as a results of volume that i might lose. So thank you returned for the counsel. i've got in no way offered something like this before because of the fact they are frequently crammed with trash, yet 3WD has been a delightful marvel. begin immediately!
