Does Prozac cause weight gain?

Yes, Prozac can cause weight gain, but it’s relatively uncommon. In fact, some people lose weight while taking Prozac. A small percentage of patients may experience weight gain, but it is often linked to increased appetite as depression symptoms improve, rather than the medication itself. In some cases, early side effects like fatigue may reduce activity temporarily, contributing to mild weight changes.
