Seeking Advice on Switching Antidepressants

I have been on fluoxetine for years and it's not doing anything anymore so I've been prescribed desvenlafaxine. I'm scared to try a different antidepressant as I've always been on fluoxetine. Does anyone have any experience on desvenlafaxine?

Did you experience weight gain with fluoxetine? Especially after taking it long term?

no. I lost weight when I first started fluoxetine and over the years my weight has stayed the same.
