Just started taking fluoxetine for my depression. My friend mentioned it might lead to weight loss, which I'm not really looking for since I'm already quite lean. Is this a common side effect?

It can sometimes reduce your appetite, leading to weight loss in the beginning. Focus on keeping your mind calm and your body nourished with wholesome meals. Trust the healing process and take gentle care of yourself.

Fluoxetine can lower appetite initially, which might look like weight loss. But to keep your metabolism healthy, make sure you're still hitting your daily protein and doing some basic home workouts. Don't rely on medication side effects for fitness.

My grandmother was worried and wanted me to drink ragi malt when she saw me losing weight on this medicine. But my doctor explained that mild weight loss is a known initial effect. I trusted his advice, kept a steady diet, and everything went smoothly.

Hey, don't stress too much about the weight thing right now. It can cause some initial weight loss for a few people because of mild nausea, but it usually evens out. Just focus on feeling better mentally, rest is secondary!

Yeah, I actually lost about 4 kgs when I started fluoxetine last year because my hunger just vanished. It came back to normal after a couple of months though. If you are dropping weight too fast, just let your doctor know.
