Hi, :wave:

I was on prozac for 6 years along with trazadone, and I gained so much weight, I am not saying it was because of the prozac.. However, I went off of it in January... well a lot has happened in my life.. I changed jobs that is when my depression started back in the begining of June, and then I lost my new job and found out I have a cyst that needs to be opperated on and I am terrified.. well for about 3 weeks now I have had major depression.. and I have decided to get back on my meds... I am doing weight watchers and have lost about 60 lbs from my heaviest weight.. I am concerned if I get back on meds I will gain weight... however I can't stand the depression anymore or the way I feel inside, I am also going to go to thereapy.. my first appt is July 18th... unfortunate I have to wait that long, but it is better then nothing.. any suggestions out there as to what to take that doesn't contribute to weight gain? I know everyone is completely different... any feedback would be greatly appreciated.. :wave:

Hello there, first of all-well done on the weight loss! I'm no expert when it comes to the meds prescribed but I know a great proportion of them can attribute to weight gain. However, people respond to medications in different ways and I am sure that if you asked your doctor, they may be able to prescribe something. Just mention you are concerned about your weight and see what they come up with.

It's worth a try!

Good luck xx
