Yes I knew Prozac was a serotonin reuptake inhibitor just like Lovan and all the other brand names, but if it causes fluid retention then can't that be countered in some way so as to maintain the good mood and the weight loss?
As for appetite , well an increased one isn't an issue on Atkins, is it?
I'm not making excuses, rather, because I eat when I am upset and I get upset a lot, then maybe this anti depressant would be less detrimental than not taking it. (?)
I probably shouldn't have been prescribed it in the first place.
I suspect my rather drug happy doctor thought it would make a difficult domestic situation more bearable for me, rather than being proactive about change.
Maybe I should tear up that prescription.
