Default How has your experience with Prozac and weight loss been?

I thought I was doing ok at first taking Prozac and being on Atkins....but now I am extremely frustrated. I have been in a true stall (no inches or pounds lost) for over two months. I am feeling pretty hopeless.

I have searched the forums but I haven't been able to find any examples of people who have stopped taking Prozac and then lost successfully or who have lost 50+ pounds while taking Prozac. If you can tell me about your experiences it would help me to decide.

I have taken Prozac since 1995 for severe clinical depression. I have gained 80 pounds. I am currently taking 20 mg of Prozac per day and about a month ago, my doc added Wellbutrin (200 mg ~ 2x/day) to see if that would help me take off some weight. I feel like I will never be able to lose the weight. I have even heard anecdotally, that people can't lose the weight even if they stop taking Prozac.

Thanks in advance for your help!
