[ Home ] [ Follow Ups ] [ Post Followups ] [ FAQ ] [ Back to Messages ] Message Posted by Beth S. on November 07, 2000 at 17:31:24: Hi Everyone! I'm hoping that someone might have some positive experience to share with me. I went on Prozac almost a year ago and it works beautifully. But I have gained 30 pounds, which really isn't acceptable. Then I tried taking nothing at all and that didn't work either. Now I am on Zoloft and am finding that I am very, very tired and very weepy. I have had my thyroid checked (thanks Beth) and everything is ok. Has anyone else had any weight gain problems with SSRI's, and if so, has a switch to another AD helped to reduce the weight. How long should I expect to wait before I see results? Thank you. Follow Ups Re: SSRIs and Weight Gain - The Saga Continues...
