There is no problem with the combination. Fatigue and weight gain can be from the lithium the Prozac or from the depression they treat. I suggest discussing it with your doctor.

Best ssri to not gain weight?
I would pick Prozac (fluoxetine), but that's not guaranteed. It has increased sexual side effects though. If you are really sensitive to weight gain, you may consider drugs of other classes. Wellbutrin doesn't cause weight gain for example, and may even improve sex. But I think it's not as strong as the SSRIs.

Is there any way to jump start metabolism after stopping Prozac to loss weight from Prozac?
Prozac is generally a weight loss drug -----so in general watching what you eat and exercise during and or after taking the drug should help. If a healthy lifestyle does not help have your thyroid checked. Prozac can rarely affect the functioning of your thyroid which may inadvertently be slowing down your metabolism. Clinically, weight gain has not been recognized as a side-effect of Prozac, however, a quick search of the internet reveals many users who know from first hand experience that it can slow the metabolism and even increase your appetite. Fluoxetine has a long half-life and can remain in your system for a month and a half after ceasing taking the drug. After this time frame, you may notice your metabolism returns to normal. Unfortunately, this is an unpredictable process and many people who take Prozac have trouble losing weight after their treatment, despite a controlled diet and exercise.

How long does it take to lose weight from ssri medications?
You don't lose weight on SSRIs, you gain, and some some cases much. This is not absolute however. Prozac (fluoxamine) may not cause weight gain at all but Paxil/Seroxat (paroxetine) may cause significant. In very special situations however, where increased appetite is psychogenic, you might lose weight, as the psychological benefit will overrun the chemical side effects. There is no time frame.
