hi Cali,
Lovan is a brand name of fluoxetine, which is Prozac. It's available under that name only in Australia
Fluoxetine does have weight gain as a side effect; this is due to fluid retention, and to increased appetite.
8 yrs ago, I was prescribed prozac for my chronic fatigue. I was assured that I'd have more energy. No kidding!! I was bouncing off the walls, and insomniac .. I gained 20 lbs in 3 months. The dr told me I must be eating more because I was feeling better No mention of side effect from the drug.
You might want to look into an alternative, as the others have mentioned
