It seems like I am the only one gaining weight. I was on Gabapentin and Prozac. My appetite went through the roof after about 3-4 weeks. I read this combo causes so many negative side effects. I stopped the gabapentin cold turkey and I have to say I actually feel great. People who don't know I struggle with anxiety and depression have told me I look so much better. How did they see I wasn't happy? Lol! So this week is my first week back on just Prozac 20mg and Wellbutrin 400 mg a day. Hope I can lose the 10 lbs. I gained quickly

I gained weight on Prozac but not right away, over 6 or 7 months

I started taking Prozac about a month ago. I was on Lexipro for about 10 years (off and on) and my new psychiatrist thought Prozac would be better for my panic disorder. I was originally on 10 for the 2 weeks then bumped to 20mg. It really messed with my stomach at first and gave me headaches. My stomach still does not seem 100% right, but it's better. It has curbed my hunger. I probably lost about 5 pounds, which is a bit of a concern for me. I'm a male, 5'6" and now only 128lbs. Any weight I lose is pure muscle, so I was actually hoping to gain weight, not lose it. If I continue to lose, I'll have to switch to something else, as it just won't be healthy for me to be that much under weight.
