Hi jamhulio
It's several years ago now since I was prescribed Prozac for Post Natal Depression. It didn't suit me personally but not because of anything weight related, just made me feel like I was on a ship that was rolling form side to side and awful nausea from that.
Because I knew it was more of a priority to treat the depression than just think sod it I can sort myself out, I went back to my GP and was prescribed Seroxat. That worked very well for me, no increase or decrease in appetite if I remember correctly and I was fully recovered in 6 months.
I notice that you say you do feel better with the Prozac so IMO that is pretty important as it shows that it is doing the job it is meant to with your Serotonin levels. You also say you are terrified on putting on weight and I can totally understand that to
There are so many Anti Depressants available nowadays that we don't have to put up with side effects we don't want usually. Many of my clients will go back to their GP's and swop around until they find what's best just for them.(and a lot of it is men related!!)
The way I see this, and it's only my opinion, is that if you don't treat any depression(by any means) first or at least alongside your own weightloss programme, then I believe your mind set may make things tougher for you and your motivation on down days and feed into any negativity.
I hope what I have posted does not sound too direct or lengthy hun. My intention is just to say that I think anything that has an impact on your mood needs to be a priority to treat so that you can enjoy the successes with weightloss and I am speaking to myself here as well as I type!!!
Best wishes,
