Changes in weight may be a side effect of antidepressant medication, but major weight changes when taking fluoxetine (Prozac) are uncommon. If you have concerns about managing your weight while taking antidepressant medication, consult with your provider.
The goal of taking an antidepressant medication like fluoxetine (Prozac) is to help reduce the severity and frequency of your depression symptoms. It will not change your personality and can help you feel like yourself again, including regaining interest in activities you enjoy and feeling more hopeful. If you begin to feel worse after taking fluoxetine, talk with your provider immediately.
Sexual side effects may occur for both men and women when taking fluoxetine and other SSRIs, including decreased sexual desire and interest, reduced sensitivity, and difficulty achieving climax. If you're experiencing negative side effects of any medication, speak with your provider — they may advise trying a new medication, changing when you take your medication, or coping strategies.
Most SSRI medications like fluoxetine take up to 8 weeks of regular use to be fully effective, with some people beginning to feel symptom relief as quickly as 1-2 weeks after starting.
SSRIs like fluoxetine have not been found to be addictive. However, if you stop taking your medication suddenly, you may experience discontinuation symptoms which can last for weeks. Consult with your provider before making any medication changes.
