Prozac and extreme hunger pains/GERD?

I've been on Prozac for a couple of years.'originally I was on it for PMDD and anxiety but now on 20 mg a day. I've noticed lately that I have these extreme hunger pains that sometimes last all day. The worst part is no matter how much I eat, the hunger is never satiated. I've read that this could be GERD or acid reflux and not actual hunger. Has anyone else experienced this with Prozac? My doctor doesn't think it's related to the prozac as he says his patients don't gain weight on it.

Had an obgyn once say that ad's can influence neurologically(paraphrase) a craving for carbs. So, perhaps the medication itself doesn't cause weight gain, how your brain works on it, could.

Perhaps a nutrition journal could help track your eating, and list cravings. Plop it down in front of your Pdoc and ask for solutions? They are MD's, afterall.

Some of the SSRIs can cause GERD, and Prozac is one of those listed that can. When I took it, I had increased stomach acid but not extremely severe. I just googled "prozac" and "GERD" and found results where people were claiming that some of the generic prozacs cause problems and others don't.

When I took Prozac, I lost weight on it at first but after a couple of years, I started to gain slightly. This was a long time ago, too, when I exercised regularly and was very thin.

If you see a primary care doctor, I would make an appt. with him/her to ask about it.
