Hi guys - My GP has suggested switching me from cipralex to Prozac - as I am concerned about weight gain with cipralex (I do put on weight when I use it for my depression) Prozac is supposed to be one SSRI that suppresses appetite not increase it. Just was interested to hear, if anyone out there had any advice or experience with this? Or just prozac in general for mild depression and he said I could just switch from one to the other with very little hassle.
You might be ok on Prozac as long as you don’t suffer with anxiety. Cipralex is better for anxiety where as prozac is good for just depression. The switch over shouldn’t be too bad, possibly some mild side effects for a while. It should soon settle. Just be careful you don’t start to feel anxious. Good luck x
