I took antidepressants for a number of years, finally settling on Prozac. After coming off them for about a year, I was at 225 pounds (from around 170 when I entered college 10 years ago). I actively worked to lose 65 pounds in the last year so I'm now at 160. I've been experiencing what may be a relapse of depression, some minor OCD and anxiety, so I may need to go back on them (I'll be talking with my doctor).

Has anyone taken Prozac and not gained considerable weight? I'm not talking about a couple of pounds -- that can be attributed to diet. And I'm not talking about "my appetite has increased, therefore I'm eating more and gaining more weight" or "I'm more tired now so I don't exercise as much". I'm talking just taking the drug and gaining weight.
