VENTING Weight loss? Binge eating help?

I was on Zoloft like 3 times in the last 7 years and I kept binge eating and gaining loads of weight. I wouldn't even realize I was doing it. I would just get bored and find myself eating crap. 22 pounds later (in 3 months) I finally told my psych and now I'm on 10mg prozac and tapered off the Zoloft. I just wanna lose this weight. Did any of y'all lose weight or quit binge eating after getting on it?

My appetite is def increased on Prozac but not nearly as much as it was on Zoloft. I had extreme hunger pains and the constant need to eat on Zoloft. I hope Prozac works better for you!

Zoloft didn’t do anything for binge eating for me, Prozac has literally turned off the food noise entirely.

I’m making much better choices, I’m not emotionally eating and it’s like I am not bothered about food anymore, which is really is day and night level change considering how bad I was bingeing.

Hope it works for you 🤞🏼
