My doctor recently prescribed Luvox for me, and I'm checking into potential side effects before I start it. I'm particularly sensitive about my weight and don't want any surprises. Is weight gain a common side effect that I should be aware of when taking Luvox?

Honestly, I have been on Luvox for a few months now. I did notice a slight increase in my cravings, which led to gaining about 3-4 kgs. It's not crazy weight gain, but you definitely have to watch what you are eating.

Look, yes, Luvox can cause weight changes because it is an antidepressant. Some people gain weight, some don't. Just make sure you stay active and don't blame the medicine for everything if you are eating junk.

Any medication that affects your metabolism can impact your weight and blood sugar levels. If you are taking Luvox, make sure you are monitoring your daily carbohydrate intake and staying active. It is very important to discuss these potential side effects with your prescribing doctor.

Well, sometimes these meds make us feel happy, and a happy stomach loves extra snacks! Yes, Luvox can cause a bit of weight gain, but it's nothing that a little extra walking can't handle. Don't worry, just keep an eye on those midnight snack runs!
