The above tho Kiki has now got my mind racing into overdrive - GP started me on Fluoxetine yesterday - one of my worst obsessions is weight and gaining would mean utter meltdown at present - I am strict with diet and exercise (majority of the time) to the point of obsessive.
Fluoxetine is well known as having the lowest risk for weight gain out of all the antidepressants. In fact it is often used to treat overeaters/bulimics to help them lose weight. I, in the past, maintained a very healthy weight on Fluoxetine for many years. Try not to worry about it. The drinking is really your number one challenge at the moment. Don't let other worries take your eye off that! Good luck.
