[QUOTE="Prem51, post: 2094550, member: 209498"] I take one 20mg capsule of fluoxetine (Prozac) daily to keep depression at bay. The leaflet in the pack doesn't say anything about weight gain or raised blood sugar. It does say a common side effect which may affect up to 1 in 10 people is 'not feeling hungry, weight loss'. You should ask your gp when you see her/him about the side effects of any medication you might be prescribed. As you are diabetic they will know that you shouldn't be prescribed anything that might raise your blood glucose, and there are many different anti-depressant/anxiety medications available. [/QUOTE]
