Hi all! ive been on fluoxetine for about 3 months now for my mood swings due to being pre menopausal, although they are working I've noticed I seem to get clammy a lot and have gained a few pounds, I'm just wondering has any body else experienced this......thanks in advance!!!

    Hello,

    I have been on fluoxetine (Prozac) for a few weeks. I was on it once before and switched to Lexapro. I wanted to give the Fluxotine another shot.

    I do notice I occasionally feel "overheated." However that can be a lot of things not necessarily the medication. In respect to weight, I found the Prozac caused me to lose weight whereas the Lexapro caused a weight gain. I know everyone is different but just wanted to put that out there.

    Be well

      I should have mentioned I also take Wellbutrin CL 300mg with the Prozac. That could make a difference too
