Saka,
My doc just put me back on my Prozac today! Thank God! No more of this Serzone BS. Don't worry about gaining weight on it. I was on it for over 5 years starting in my teens, and I actually lost weight (not absolutely sure if it was directly from taking Prozac or not)...but I never ever gained, that's for sure. Prozac made me more active, more energetic, and willing to do things, more "up", so maybe that is why I lost weight and didn't gain any. The only med I was ever on that made me gain (and atribute to my overweight prob to this day) is Trazadone...made me wake up in the morning and feel like eating like six eggs and 5 pieces of toast, I went from like 122 at 5'7" to, well, I don't actually care to say *L*) I am trying to get back to my normal weight with Prozac and Topomax, in my opinion two good ones if you are afraid of weight gain. So I wouldn't worry if I were you...*S*
