weight gain
by danni299, Jul 05, 2008 08:51PM
I have been taking Paxil for social anxiety. I get hot very quickly and after any small situation where i am dealing with people, i feel myself going red. Anyhow, i have found they somewhat help my situation, but they have caused me to gain some weight.
I have come off the tablets, do you think i will lose the weight? And is there any similar medication i can take that does not cause weight gain?
Regards,

I can understand your frustration at gaining weight while taking Paxil. I gained weight with a couple of the medications I took and had my doctor take me off of them.
I hope you stopped taking your medication without your doctors' permission.
The weight will come off as long as you maintain or start a healthy diet and exercise.
Most of the benzos do not cause weight gain, so you might talk to your doctor about one of them. I've been on diazepam for 4 years with a weight issue.
