I have always had a fast metabolism, but gained about 8lbs on the drug. I can't seem to shift it despite a low calorie diet, regular trips to the gym and jogging. In the past, I would have faded away to nothing on this regime. I’m a male who was recently treated with fluoxetine. I have always had a fast metabolism, but gained about 8lbs on the drug.

I'm not sure if you're still taking meds, including SSRIs, that can affect weight and metabolism. If you suspect that your thyroid has been affected, I encourage you to speak with your doctor and get tested. Hi Darlene,

Normally with my routine of exercise/weights, eating low and clean I would be l0 lbs lighter now...not l lb. changed in a year. :( The weight I gained from SSRI’s is stuck and my metabolism seems ruined…my thyroid must have been affected in some strange way to keep me 25 lbs fatter no matter what I do.
