weight loss since anti-depressants

I've struggled with my weight ever since I can remember. I've also struggled with depression. Almost 4 months ago my mom went into the hospital with chest pain and my husband lost his job in the same week. I happened to have an annual exam scheduled the following week. I asked my doctor to prescribe an anti-depressant. I'd never been on them before.

I don't want to seem like I'm promoting anti-depressants, because I know everybody is different, but I only started getting in control of my weight since then. I went back today and read my logs before anti-depressants and then after anti-depressants and I"m really amazed at the difference. I've lost the weight very slowly but consistently. The biggest changes I notice are that I don't "need" to eat like I used to and I don't make excuses for not exercising.

The things I write in my logs are totally different, too. For instance, I used to agonize over things I ate or experiences I was having, whereas now, I mostly just report the facts.

Has anybody else experienced this? I've mostly heard of people gaining weigh on anti-depressants and it's been completely the opposite for me. I'm really curious because I've never talked with anybody who has had the same experience I've had.

I'm on Fluoxetine--the generic version of Prozac.
