SSRIs are notorious for weight gain, but Prozac has less of a weight gain potential (compared to say Paxil). Your weight gain may be natural - over the course of 20 years. Or it may be the result of the Prozac. But 2-3 pounds per year to gain from an SSRI is not very much. I was on Lexapro for 2-3 years and gained nearly 40 pounds in that time.

I was just put on Prozac yesterday and my doc told me that it is more likely that I will lose weight than gain it. He said that because I had an eating disorder in the past.
