I've heard they were considering using Prozac as a weight loss drug (in higher doses) because it regulates the seritonin (sp)...at least, that's what my Dr. said.

When I first started taking Prozac 10 years ago, it had that effect on me......Gave me lots of energy and curbed my appetite...I wasn't on any type of diet...... Lost 20 lbs! Then broke my Right ankle and left foot...and gained it all back!

But now, I don't know! Maybe you build up a tolerence or something....I hear lots of people saying that Prozac stalls you. So, I don't know what's true.

I'm in a Super Stall right now....but think its my BP meds and age!........I have weaned myself off the Prozac and I haven't seen any change in the weight loss. I will go back on it if I feel I need it......But, if I can feel good without it...great! Hope some day to get off all meds.!

Wish we knew for sure how different meds affect this WOE....
