What is the difference between fluoxetine and duloxetine in effects on weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varied: Fluoxetine can initially decrease appetite, but has been associated with weight gain with prolonged use. Duloxetine can also cause initial weight loss and is less likely to cause weight gain over time.
