I started prozac at the same time as I started atkins one year ago and it has been a lifesaver. My doctor believes it has helped me too to lose the weight. I think prozac is a true blessing in life. I started gaining weight at one point but it wasn't b/c of the prozac. It was because I was eating things I shouldn't have been eating and that was due to the fact that I was becomign depressed again. Once you get the right dosage of the antidepressant it makes a big difference.
