In reply to Prozac anyone???, posted by Edgefield on March 11, 2003, at 15:22:27
Hi, Prozac was the first AD I went on. It did wonders on my depression-I only had to take 40mg. The problem was, I was feeling soooooooooooo wonderful that my appetite soared-and I gained nearly 80 Lbs. I was also on Anafranil which tends to be weight gainer.
I would give Prozac thumbs up! It helped my depression very, very well, it was just the weight gain that I could not tolerate-and that made me more depressed, so I went off it. Now, I'm probably the one of the VERY few who gained weight on Prozac, but I wish you the best and it may be great for you. Good luck and please let me know how your doc appt went:-)
All the best, Kristen
==================================================================================================> I've been on Lexapro for almost three months and although it has worked with my anxiety and anxiety triggered depression, after almost 3 months I'm still not back to my old self....I would like to hear from other who have had good results with Prozac. Please let me know what to expect. I meet with my dr. on Thursday to discuss other options. It might not be Prozac, but I've heard good things about this med. I've also heard that newer AD came out about two months ago...does anyone know anything about an newer AD other than Lexapro? I would like to have alot of questions for my dr. when we meet on Thursday to discuss other options. Thanks :)
