I was prescribed Prozac for situational depression and anxiety. Just with reading online, I hear that it can cause long-term weight gain. I am really worried about this and wondering if anyone has experienced weight gain with Prozac.

ignore it. it is because you overeat cause you feel happy. most people lost weight or stay same initially. you could use my fitness pal app for a week and see.if you overeat. if eating more than 2000kcal on inactive days you may maintain (very rough), if you eat 2000 on an active day you willl lose 1b a week. but back to original point. look at side effects of paractetmol. im sure it says cardiac arrest on their lol

Please don't worry I've actually lost weight but I do believe diet and exercise helps with managing depression. Good luck x

Well I certainly didnt put on weight, infact I lost over 3 Stone, I have been on fluoxetine twice now its the same as prozac, and both times I had no appetite and couldnt eat for weeks, I certainly wouldnt listen to people who say they have gained weight,
For me it took many weeks but I am better now.
