Lower appetite (fluoxetine)

Anybody been on fluoxetine (antidepressant) and noticed a reduced appetite?

I’m not complaining, but I’m concerned because when it comes to time to eat, it’s a struggle to wolf anything at all.

In fact I think there wa a trend a few years back to take what was called a ‘happy pill’ to lose weight. I think some celebrities endorsed it.

Like you say can not be a healthy thing

Agreed. When I was a student I always ended up losing weight during exams. Your brain is very energy intensive

Apple kid when I was on Geodon (Ziprasidone) I was very skinne because I lost my tastebuds so that everything tasted of nothing. The only reason I didn’t die of starvation was that the meds demand you to eat 1000 kcal fatty food.
