I am like a caller who gained excessive weight as a consequence of taking prescription mediation. I had never been overweight in my life until age 50 years when a physician prescribed Progestin and Prozac for me. Within the next 12 months I gained over 100 lbs. Although I stopped taking this medications about 2 years ago. I am now 66 years old and although I work out at the gym 3 x/week and swim 3/4 mile 2 x/week. I am generally healthy but disgusted with my appearance. I am depressed about how I look but I will never agree to taking antidepressants again.
