I gained about 20 lbs when I started it in 2009. Then I got put on seroquel, for bipolar and schizophrenia (not depression, included this for weight purposes), and gained a lloooootttt more. I am now on prozac again (after being taken off of it for a year or two) and have not gained weight on it. That seroquel though, is out of control, lol. I take metformin (not diabetic though, just take it for counteractive purposes) to stop the weight gain and topomax as an appetite suppressant (since seroquel makes you gain weight by increasing your appetite). My moods and everything else are pretty stable when I take my meds regularly. Prozac works well for me.
