hi there, i have been on fluoxetine for 5 years and i have made the decission to come off it now. i was coming out of a bad relationship, when i first took fluoxitine. I started to gain weight almost immediatly. friends and family would reasure me this was because i was becoming happier in my new life and that i woulnt gain much, fat and happy and all that....!i have gained 28 pounds and have tryed flighting the weight with every diet and excercise possible. i will post another message once i have come off them completly, to let you know if i loose .
