Hi Kel-
I was on prozac for a year and a half. I went off of it 3 months ago. The first month I was off prozac I gained an additional 10 pounds. I've heard this is a common. The second month I lost 3 pounds wihout dieting. I have lost 7 pounds in this third month, The last week I have been on a very low calorie diet, in the hope that it will come off faster. I need to lose another 25 pounds to get to my pre-prozac weight. While I was on prozac and for a time afterward, I didn't lose weight regardless of the number of calories I consumed or how much I worked out. I'm happy to report that I now lose weight in response to dieting and exercise.
