I have been on PaxilPaxil Paxil cr for 8 months for panicPanic disorder Panic disorder with agoraphobia attacks and the weight gain is getting so hard to deal with. I've decided to go off of it. Can anyone tell me if they lost the weight easily after going of it. Or possible suggest another anti anxiety med that doesn't have this particular side effect.
Hello! I gained nearly 25 pounds on PaxilPaxil Paxil cr and it all dropped off within 2mos of stopping it. I'm not sure, but I think WellbutrinWellbutrin Wellbutrin sr Wellbutrin xl is one of the AD's that don't cause weight gain, but it is also very stimulating so might not be a good choice unless your anxiety is secondary to depression. I tried it once and it made me feel totally hyperHyper-sal. I only took it a couple of days.
Unfortunately, weight gain is a side effect of most AD's and it's hard to avoid.
