Fl.uoxetine also goes under the name “Prozac,” and, among many things is used to treat severe depression. Depression can SOMETIMES be marked by changes in appetite.
One of their side effects is that they suppress appetite in some people. Didn’t work for me but, I have know others that it did work for.
