Flunil 20 Mg Weight Gain

I have been diagnosed with dysthymia and have been taking flunil 20 mg daily 1 tablet in the morning since last
6 months. I 've noticed my weight has increased is this related to flunil , since last 6 months I have changed my diet too, I have started drinking milk along with a banana daily, can this be the reason for my weight gain ? or combination of flunil and diet change is behind my weight gain ?

please reveal your source, I want to know who is answering my question, whether it is a psychiatrist or some person who has been taking flunil , thanks !

I have not taken it, nor am I a doctor of any type, I just have information about prescription medications and I'll provide a link for that medication information.

Flunil contains the active ingredient Fluoxetine, which is an SSRI antidepressant and they are well known to cause weight gain.

Learn more Fluoxetine details here.

The banana may also play a role, since it adds potassium to your diet.

How much have you gained?

Have you talked to your doctor about it?
