Prozac ?
| Thu, 09-23-2004 - 10:07pm |
Hello! After struggling with a horrible bout of depression, my therapist finally suggested medication. I hated to do it but I'm so glad I did. I've been on Prozac for about 6 months and am back to my happy self, for the most part. My downs now aren't nearly as severe or as long-lasting as before. However, my libido has decreased so much! Has anyone else had this problem? (Also, what about weight gain? I've put on about 7 pounds since I've started, despite no changes in exercise and eating) Any tips or other experiences would be great.

Hi dr2th,
Since your question concerns Prozac, you might want to also post on our Anti-Depressant Med board at:

Our Prozac information is at:

As someone also on Prozac, I can relate to the weight gain.
