How To Lose The Weight Which Was Gained By Using Fluoxetine 40mg?

I've been on fluoxetine 40mg for 7 months. Since I started on them I have put on 4 stone! (exercise/diet have not changed) I have just started taking ephedrine hcl 30 mg with caffeine 200mg, aspirin 75mg twice a day as I was told it's good for weightloss! Is it safe to take ephedrine with fluoxetine? I'm desperate to lose the weight I've put on since starting fluoxetine and feel like I've tried everything! Thanks

Hello,
You may take ephedrine and caffeine provided you don't have any cardiac or blood pressure problem however the best way to reduce weight s to do regular aerobic exercises for 45-60 minutes a day along with proper dietary control by avoiding sweets,colas,fried and fatty foods and junk foods.
Taking a combination of ephedrine with caffeine is not approved by US FDA.
Thanks
