What Causes Weight Gain And Dizziness While Taking Prozac?

Hello, I have been suffering from fatigue for years. fortunately I have been much better after taking Prozac, vit B complex. and tyroid energy since six years ago. but recently I have heard about choronic fatigue. And I think it is true about me. I have been searching about some information about that to be treated more. I can t exercise as much I have to. I wish to loose weight, but I don t find this easy. As, I was very energetic, and I could loose weight with exercise, I hope to find a way to help me more. my problem started 12 years ago with dizziness. I gained 10 kg after 10 months. I lost all 10 kg after 2 months with diet and exercise, because I was normal again. But again, I have gained weight up to now and was dizzy for 7 years. I have to add that Prenacy caused all these problems more. Thank you for your help. Sicerely Soraya

See , prozac is not directly responsible for weight gain. As you mentioned that you feel weak and have problem of fatigue , hence this can cause decrease in Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) , and hence can lead to weight gain or not being able to loose weight.
As far as dizziness is concerned , prozac is not responsible for it . Also , get your blood pressure checked .
