Does prozac cause weight loss?

I go to a very reputed hospital in Mumbai and my specialist clearly told me that Prozac is not a weight loss pill. Any weight change is just a side effect, so ask your doctor clearly before expecting such results.

Yes, it can cause weight loss initially because it alters your serotonin levels and suppresses cravings. But it is not a weight control supplement, so treat it purely as a mental health medication.

I have guided many people on this forum regarding medication side effects. While mild weight loss can happen in the initial phase, it usually stabilizes once your body adjusts. Stay hydrated and eat small, regular meals.

I ignored my sudden weight loss when I started this medicine, thinking it was a good thing, but it turned out to be severe nutritional deficiency. Please get your regular blood panels done and stay in touch with your doctor.

At 52, my body weight has a mind of its own anyway! When I took Prozac, my appetite dipped slightly, but don't worry, my love for dhoklas brought it back very soon.

Please don't trust random forum posts saying Prozac is good for weight loss. It is a serious psychiatric drug. Only verify these things with a qualified medical professional.

For mild nausea or appetite loss, drinking fresh ginger-lemon water can really help soothe your stomach. However, if the weight loss is severe, please don't ignore it and consult your doctor.

I started this last week and I feel so much less hungry. Is this normal or should I be worried? Did anyone else feel a sudden drop in their appetite so quickly?

I had a very bad experience when my appetite dropped drastically on this medication, making me extremely weak. If you are losing weight too fast, please see your doctor immediately to adjust the dose.
