Acupuncture

Thank you bradfordlass 72, hopefully they will work, I’m just suffering a bit with side effects at the moment !

Prozac/fluoxatine was prescribed for me during menopause and it was very helpful...although for me the problem was depression rather than anxiety.
It didn't result in weight gain.

My doctor did warn me at the time, that as oestrogen diminishes after menopause, many women have problems with anxiety and I may develop it.
My mother certainly did. So different from her usual self.

I do hope you feel better and more in control soon.

Thank you. I’m not underweight and all my health checks are normal so know I’m ok, probably the tablets that have diminished my appetite. Hopefully they’ll kick in soon

I suppose it's worth a try as acupuncture is used for anxiety and anxiety-related problems as an alternative to medication.

Prozac can cause a loss of appetite but once the antidepressant kicks in you may well find you gain quite a few pounds. If you are already underweight and losing more you should speak to your doctor.
I'm afraid I know nothing about acupuncture.
