5 %: 5% of patent have increased appetite. Also when depression symptoms are better you do have appetite increase also.

Is it helping?: What happened with Prozac (fluoxetine)? It causes weight loss usually. Eat healthy foods with low calories and exercise. Stop liquid calories in cokes or fruit juices and eat whole fruit instead. Low carb diet may be better than low fat. Is it helping depression or anxiety?
