Can fluoxetine cause weight gain?

Hello! I have been taking fluoxetin for two years, I have a very similar diet all the time and yet during this time I gained as much as 15kg. Could the pills have contributed to this?

If fluoxetin is taken for a long time, it may cause weight gain. I know from autopsy. I do not eat sweets, I have a diet due to the state of health. Until I took fluoxetin, my weight remained at the same level. After fluoxetin I gained weight. So maybe not in all people it causes weight loss.

Thank you for pointing this out. It is true that fluoxetine can reduce appetite and lead to weight loss. More here: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/opinie-i-pytania/46033/bioxetin-ktory-lek-powoduje-ze-duzo-przytylam

Fluoxetine even causes weight loss. In higher doses, it is used in bulimia. I do not know where Mrs. M.Sc. sucked this nonsense

Tak, tabletki z fluoksetyną mogą powodować zwiększenie masy ciała.

Proszę pamiętać, że działania niepożądane leków powinno się zgłaszać lekarzowi lub indywidualnie. Zgłaszając działania niepożądane pomaga Pani innym pacjentom, również swoim bliskim, którzy kiedyś także mogą potrzebować tego samego leku. Krok ten pozwala także zgromadzić więcej informacji na temat bezpieczeństwa stosowania produktów leczniczych i aktualizować dane na ich temat. O tym, jak to zrobić, pisaliśmy tutaj: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jak-i-dlaczego-zglaszac-dzialania-niepozadane
