Hi. My girlfriend has stopped taking her anti-depressants, Fluoxetine, because she believes they make her put on weight, and she claims that makes her more stressed. Although she won't agree with me, she seems to be getting more stressed since stopping (surprisingly enough). For one reason or another she hasn't had a proper night's sleep this week. This morning she was crying because she couldn't afford to go out clubbing with her friend (I did offer to give or lend her the money but she didn't want to owe me any more). It's not something she does often so I understand why she's upset, but she acting as if it is the end of the world.
Any general advice on the situation would be greatly appreciated.
