A member asked:
Can somebody tell me how can prozac (fluoxetine) cause weight gain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually: Usually medications dont cause weight gain they cause increased appetite. Sometimes with antidepressants, depression causes appetite loss, so when you take antidepressants and start feeling better you start eating more and then blame it on the medicine.
