Prozac weight gain/ adding BC
Hi! First of all, Prozac has COMPLETELY changed my (21F) life. I’ve been on it for about a year and a half and I can actually get out of bed. However, recently I’ve noticed weight gain with absolutely no change in my diet or lifestyle. I’ve always been a smaller person so this has come as a shock to me, and is unfortunately getting to a place where I ruminate on the fact that I’m larger. I wouldn’t want to stop Prozac because of the way it’s made my life so much better, but I’m wondering what to do. I’ve changed my diet to be way more balanced and I exercise more frequently. I think I’m seeing a change but not sure. On top of that, I have the worst period and cramps that come along with it so I’m thinking about adding birth control soon. My only problem is I just don’t want that to add on to the weight gain. Is there a combo or a birth control you felt like has worked for you, or a way to keep the weight off when taking Prozac and/or BC?
Thanks!
