Do you like Prozac for breakfest?
So, I've been prescribed Prozac as of this morning, so I'm looking for some feedback from anyone who takes it, knows someone who does, or has taken it...
I'm mainly worried about weight gain... I've read that Welbutrin XL causes weight loss.. Any feedback for that one will be good too.
Thanks!

Did you hallucinate on Ambian??? Man, that stuff makes me see things that arnt there, and look at the whole world differently. Like, everything is so friendly..
I hear that antidepressants are wonderful. Im glad that I decided to see a doctor. Hopefully I can get the ADD under control. I've always thought I was, and I told my mom that the doc diagnosed me, and she goes "oh ya I know".. Like WTF?? You yelled and screamed at me because I was so, "all over the place" but you knew I was ADD? It made me very angry...
Like, "gee mom, ur a B*&%#" haha.

HEY, GIRL, I WAS ON PROZAC FOR ABOUT A YEAR FOR SEVERE DEPRESSION TOO AND I ALSO HAVE ADD. I WASN'T ON ANY MEDS FOR THE ADD BEFORE CUZ I WASN'T DIAGNOSED UNTIL I WAS 19 BUT THE PROZAC REALLY HELPED ME CONCENTRATE AND STAY FOCUSED. I WAS ON AMBIEN TOO, FOR INSOMNIA AND THAT HELPED ME. THE AMBIEN PUT ME TO SLEEP AND THE PROZAC WOKE ME UP. I DIDN'T GAIN ANY WEIGHT, BUT I MAY HAVE LOST A FEW POUNDS. WHATEVER IT WAS THE RESULTS WERE SLIGHT, BUT THE PROZAC HELPED ME IN WAYS I COULDN'T IMAGINE.
sorry it took so long to get back to you. i was wondering what your issues are and why you think you should be on meds. like what type of med. suits you? just curious. i have issues (hah ahha) so i was just wondering what yours are?
Well congrat's ! How old? yeah, I'm so bad. I check this place all the time. Sometimes I feel like I'm waiting on someone to have a problem. It get's my goat when people put boguss things on here, but I just answer the best I can and go on. I have a problem with wanting to voice my opinion more than I sould . i have to bite my toung a lot.
Ive been on for just over a year. It does get addicting. I've taken a lot of time off because I have the wee one, and sometimes this place just gets on my nerves!
:-)

Hey! Nice to meet ya! I've been on here a few months, I think. Time passes by so fast. I have gotten so addicted to this place. How long have you been on?

Thanks so much for responding! :-)
I've been put on Prozac because I've just been sevearly depressed...I didn't think it could happen, but my boyfriends abuse has caught up with me and I don't know how to deal with the flashbacks and everything that tags along.
He also gave me some Ambian, because I'm having a hard time shutting my brain off.
Ontop of that, I'm ADD, but he dosn't want to put me on a bunch of meds so we'll just see if the Prozac helps with that.. Ive never taken anything for ADD, but man, it sure would have came in handy as a kid.. i probably wouldnt have gottn yelled at so much. :-)
Gosh, I feel like a skitzo or something.
Frick man, I gotta get away from this dude, he's literally driving me crazy.. He feeds on my weaknesses and uses my daughter to twist me up even more. Sometimes I think things were easier to cope with when he drank! Because now that he's sober,I can't say "oh it's the alcohol" anymore.
But hopefully getting some therapy will build me back and glue together the broken pieces.
Thanks everyone. :-)

My mother is on prozac. She really likes it. She tried getting off of it for a while and we were begging her to get back on it again. I can really see a difference in her since she's been taking it. No weight gain in her case. I think with all those drugs effect everybody different. I was on Zoloft for a while. I stopped taking it, because it made me feel drained. The doc. keeps trying to put me on something, but I'm gonna wait.
I really like Wellbutrin. If you have any anxiety issues though it may not be the best for you. I gained nothing on it and my sex drive increased considerably. If you have any other questions on it, go ahead and email me or myspace me.
Hey,
I've been on prozac and I gained a little weight. Most people who do gain wait while on these type of drugs only gain a small amount , but i see why it concerns you , I didn't like it myself. I also didn't like the other side effects the drug had on me so I stopped taking it, but everyone reacts differently to SSRI's. I've now been through about 7 different SSRI's and finally found one that worked with the least bothersome side effects. If you are really worried about weight gain then staying active , or excersising at least 3x a week with a balanced diet should help you maintain your weight. I'm now on Zoloft , after trying Effexor Xl , Celexa , Lexapro , Prozac , Cymbalta, small doses of xanax and ativan , and they even tried putting me on Seroquel to help me sleep wich is an antipsychotic that had very bad side effects and that I didnt even need for the medical issues i had. I suffer from anxiety , panic attacks and depression. What dosage are you on and if you don't mind me asking what are the resaons that led you to this med?
Hope this was helpfull

I did't lose mine. they just deflated. lot's of stuff there, but woth out a push up bra - I'm steppin on'em!! Butt too. I want to get some of those undies that make u look like you have junk in your trunk. I plan on having my boob's done one day. I want them put back where God originally had'em!! It's so not fair. All we go thru for our little bundles of joy. Gravity is a b%#^*!!!! Sorry I don't have a fix it plan for ya. Camoflauge honey! I think I spelled that right? Have a good day!
hey girl....
my friend used to be on prozac and did gain some weight but everyone is different. she is back on it (i want to say .20 mg??? but i am not 100%) and she is feeling so much better. some gain weight, some lose weight. i guess you are bound to gain a bit of weight because the drug relaxes you, you are not as stressed and high strung/hyped up ya know? so you are a bit more sluggish while on it. I hear it's good for ADD, anxiety, PMS. It just really evens you out. my friend did question why the dr. would prescribe that to someone as young as you? it could have adverse effects. she did mention some people get suicidal. however, you do have the option of wellbutrin to help as well and it seems to not have a negative connotation as prozac. if you feel its not working or isnt for you, call your dr. and try the wellbutrin. sometimes it takes some "tweaking" with meds to find whats best.
hope this helps?? keep in touch!

Okay, also... I stoped breastfeeding about a month and a half ago... and I started off as a 34-B... Now I'm a freaking 32-A!!!!
I'm 5'9, 136, exactly where I was a year ago when I got pregnant, but I lost what little boobs that I had....
Has this happened to anyone??? Why did I completely lose my size?? Not to mention, when I gave birth, I lost my butt too...
I feel like a 2X4. Flat as a board... I just dont understand. I kept my waistline, but lost my chest and tush...
Will I get them back??
