Abstract
A double-blind placebo-controlled trial was conducted, involving 97 obese diabetic and glucose intolerant patients receiving either 60 mg fluoxetine daily (47 patients) or a placebo (50 patients); a similar calorie-restricted diet was prescribed to all patients. Weight loss was significantly higher in the fluoxetine-treated patients, whose diabetic status improved. Drop-out rate was not significantly different for both groups of patients.
