I have been taking Prozac for 10 months and although it has helped to 'level' me out and start taking control of my life again, it has not been without side effects one of which is weight gain. I have gone up two dress sizes since taking it and I have not increased my food intake. I have got to the stage now where getting fat is adding to my depression and negative self image. I have decided to face life without drugs now and I am working to come off prozac by September. It can help but it is not the answer and I have found that counselling has been more helpful in the long run. I do not want to spend the rest of my life as an over weight zombie which is what prozac has done to me. My advice is give it a go but don't rely on it to solve all your problems and get drug free as soon as you can.
