I am on the search for an antidepressant that will not cause weight gain or fluid retention. Can someone give me some personal experiences with medications they were on? Thank you so much.

I've had very good luck with Prozac/Fluoxetine, which I take for perimenopause symptoms. I am a congestive heart failure patient, which high blood pressure, so I can't take anything that could cause weight gain, or fluid retention.

The FDA lists this medication as causing side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and weight loss.

Does anyone else have any suggestions?
