Prozac and Fat Burners

JKDman · 02-Apr-05, 11:36 AM

does anyone know if taking fat burners such as Hydroxycut, etc... while using Prozac is harmful or any side effects? I have researched it, but have found not too much on it except what the side effects are of Prozac itself.

Thanks

The old thermogenics had Ephedra in them and I was told to stay away from them. The new ones don't have that in them and I even used a bottle of Hydroxycut a year ago to test the waters and I had absolutely 0 issues with it. I've taken one or the other of Prozac, Paxil, Celexa and Lexapro for the last 11 years for my anxiety and depression. They are all SSRI's as you know. Stimulants in general set me off so I try to stay away from them but the new thermogenics don't have anything that strong in them. Even caffeine is fine. Chemically, they don't interfere with the Serotonin reuptake.

Thanks for the info. I bought Hot Rox, and wasn't sure. I will have my wife give it a try.
